This build fails because the Solaris 10 Buildbot has Automake 1.14.1 
(2013), but  GNU tar 1.33 and later needs at least Automake 1.15 (2015). 
Could you please update Buildbot to a more-recent Automake? (GNU tar 
cannot be built from Git on vanilla Solaris 10, which has only Automake 
1.8.3 (2004).)

Also, there's a warning in /opt/csw/share/aclocal/gtk.m4 that you might 
want to look into (see below).

Alternatively, Buildbot could create a tarball on a newer platform, and 
then build from the tarball on Solaris 10; that should work without any 
of the above.

Thanks.
