I'm not sure what's going on, but I think you're misinterpreting the message
slightly:

> /bin/bash ../../libtool --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -L/usr/local/lib -o
> libreplacements.la iconv.lo asprintf.lo vasprintf.lo ^M

That's the libtool call. It outputs

> false

with no newline. Don't know why. Then make continues with:

> cru .libs/libreplacements.a .libs/iconv.o .libs/asprintf.o
> .libs/vasprintf.o^M

and cru(1) returns an error, probably stemming from the prior anomaly.

> make: *** [libreplacements.la] Error 1^M

You might try:

$ cd src/replacements
$ /bin/bash -x ../../libtool \
--mode=link gcc -g -O2 -L/usr/local/lib \
-olibreplacements.la \
iconv.lo asprintf.lo vasprintf.lo

That might make clearer what it is about the libtool script that Solaris 9
dislikes.

Alternatively, unless you need 0.62.4, you could try 0.62.3, which was built
with an older libtool that worked with Solaris. (IIRC it had some minor
trouble installing the documentation, but at least it built and installed the
libraries.)

I would like to solve the libtool problem for 0.63, though, so if you want to
help debug this libtool problem, that would be great.
