Free advice: you really don't want to get it working either. You instead
want to try 7.0.2. ;-)

I gotta hand it to those guys: very informative error message. The shell
code looks like this:

| ac_try="$ac_cpp conftest.$ac_ext >/dev/null 2>conftest.out"
| { (eval echo configure:3273: \"$ac_try\") 1>&5; (eval $ac_try) 2>&5; }
| ac_err=`grep -v '^ *+' conftest.out | grep -v "^conftest.${ac_ext}\$"`

which should surely create a conftest.out file.

Yup, it should be in backend/utils/fmgr.h. That file is created from a
bunch of other files, and I don't think this is the first time Solaris awk
or similar would have balked. If you want to investigate further you could
go into backend/utils and try to run the commands by hand somehow, but it
seems to me that your whole system is somehow in a shaky
state. (PATH? shared libraries? umask?, ...)
