Out of the box on Solaris2.5.1/Sparc with autoconf-2.13, automake-1.4 and
libtool-1.3.3, 'make' stops here:

cd . && aclocal
cd . && automake --gnu --include-deps Makefile
cd . && autoconf
configure.in:27: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross 
compiling
[...]
updating cache /dev/null
ltconfig: unrecognized option `--no-reexec'
Try `ltconfig --help' for more information.
configure: error: libtool configure failed
make: *** [config.status] Error 1


Then I use to apply this patch to freetds/aclocal.m4 (already _after_ having
run 'make' for the first time !):

Afterwards 'make' succeeds -  but my SPARC CPU is still considered to be
little-endian  :-)
