Configure is still broken for Solaris.  What I have done, is manually
change the lines that look like this:


if test "$CFLAGS"AAA = AAA ; then OLDCFLAGS="$OLDCFLAGS
-DHW_LITTLE_ENDIAN";
else OLDCFLAGS="$OLDCFLAGS -DHW_BIG_ENDIAN"; fi
CFLAGS=$OLDCFLAGS

to

#if test "$CFLAGS"AAA = AAA ; then OLDCFLAGS="$OLDCFLAGS
-DHW_LITTLE_ENDIAN";
#else OLDCFLAGS="$OLDCFLAGS -DHW_BIG_ENDIAN"; fi
OLDCFLAGS="$OLDCFLAGS -DHW_BIG_ENDIAN"
CFLAGS=$OLDCFLAGS

(basically hard wired it for BIG_ENDIAN)

I too, see it re-run configure after running configure on Solaris, but
with the change above, I have been able to get it compiled successfully
and linked with sqsh-1.4.  With a minor word alignment change in
tds_convert_flt8, I have been able to run a large portion of sql
commands successfully (only testing dblib stuff right now).  In fact,
the output that I have gotten from sqsh on Solaris (sparc) has matched
the output I get from sqsh on Linux (intel) except for one particular
query that spits out a few unknown tokens at the end of the output.
