A number of Configure tests are faililng for me on Solaris 8/SPARC.
Specifically, I see:

All of these fail in the same way. Here's an example:

The problem is that the solaris hints file uses 'triggers' and the
configure tests can't handle them. This can be reproduced on any
operating system by introducing a simple 'trigger' in the appropriate
hints file (see config/init/hints/solaris.pm for examples).
