Probably?  It's meant to be.

The game here is that apparently your libc doesn't include asprintf(3). 
We include a public domain version in src/replacements, but the bsqldb
link command doesn't attempt to determine whether it needs the
replacement, never mind add it to the ld command line.  

The quick fix, albeit slower than --disable-apps, would be to rejigger the
link command to bring in the replacement.  If you try this, please let me
know how it turns out.  Obviously, I'll have to work out a better
arrangement for the release.

That's not supposed to happen.  I think you perhaps tripped on "test -L"? 
I've promised to fix that; you need "test -h" instead.  The deal here is
that the snapshots come with prebuilt documentation, which the Makefile
detects and copies, unless Doxygen is installed, in which case it builds
you a fresh copy from scratch.  That's the theory, anyway.

Well done.

I'm hoping you'll get useful advice from the Solaris folks out there.  If
you know  something that should be changed upstream -- some way in which
the configure script is deficient, for instance -- I'd be happy to make
the change.
