I take it the AMD is a later processor rev than the Dell.
Example - the DEll is a pentium One and the AMD is a
Pentium 3 class machine?
The AMD might be running a 586 based kernel while the Dell

The MBR is not even finding the start of the secondary

it is listed in grubs config file and grubs barfs when it

Sort sounds like your hardware configuration is not correct

you forgot to undo something
Depends on what the lines actually look like, check man/info

Try cut -f1 filename | sort | uniq
you need to sort it first prior to UNIQ.

The -M is more than likely a flag to the loader on your solaris platform
not the compiler. See 'man ld' or 'info ld' on your linux box and man ld
on your solaris box and see if there is a correllary between the two loaders
