I had the same problem compiling on Mac OS X.  I tried something similar 
with ./configure and never could get it working.  What I ended up doing 
is setting C_INCLUDE_PATH to include the include libraries that I 
needed, and LIBRARY_PATH to include the lib libraries that I needed:

export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/local/include:/opt/local/include/db46
export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib:/opt/local/lib/db46

In your case I would guess this might work:

export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/csw/include:/opt/csw/bdb44/include:/usr/local/include
export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/csw/lib:/opt/csw/bdb44/lib:/usr/local/lib

Place those two lines in a member (I called mine 'libs') and then 'source' it, 
ie:
source libs

I placed that in my .profile member.

Not sure if any of this will work on Solaris, but...
