First, you should use the latest version, which is currently 3.79.1.

You are trying to use a compiler build for Solaris 2.5 on Solaris 2.6.

That won't work.  You're seeing these errors because your compiler is
broken, not because of any problems in GNU make.

You need to either build on a Solaris 2.5 system, or get a version of
the compile build for Solaris 2.6.
