This appears to be a locale issue.

Busybox is (or was) non-standard here.  Not my problem. :-)

Please try to figure out what additional flags are needed here and we
can update a README file.  You may need -std=gnu99 or some such.

According to your log, it's the same issue as above:

/opt/csw/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/5.2.0/include-fixed/sys/feature_tests.h:3
46:2: error: #error "Compiler or options invalid for pre-UNIX 03 X/Open applicat

No clue.  Sorry.
