I tried this with today's parrot (r45243) and
rakudo (8f7d293a6ba3a9ce4efea3278c58a5edf0210edc) on OpenSolaris with
Sun's compiler. It stopped almost immediately:
perl /export/home/doughera/my/parrot/lib/2.2.0-devel/tools/build/pmc2c.pl --c
--include /export/home/doughera/my/parrot/src/2.2.0-devel --include
/export/home/doughera/my/parrot/src/2.2.0-devel/pmc p6lowlevelsig.pmc
PMC has attributes but no auto_attrs or manual_attrs at

[and then a cascade of C errors based on that one, followed by the
following odd error message at the end]

I'm pretty sure this is a recurrence of [perl #66560]. See that ticket
for the diagnosis and fix currently in use in rakudo.
However, it's not at all obvious to me how someone trying to
install rakudo could fix it. At least with a Makefile, it's
often obvious how you can hand-edit the Makefile and try to fix it.
Here, it's not. Looking at the trace at the end, it refers to a file
"runtime/parrot/library/distutils.pir" which doesn't exist. (It may have
existed in the build directory, but that's not around anymore.) There is
a file distutils.pir in $prefix/lib/2.2.0-dev/library, but editing it
(assuming you have permission) doesn't appear to change anything. I
expect that's because the precompiled distutils.pbc file is loaded
instead.
