The build README, shipped with the source, states the following for Solaris
builds:

"ALT_COMPILER_PATH
This is an override for specifying where the Solaris Devpro compiler
and tools are located. ..."

The fact is that ALT_COMPILER_PATH doesn't override the path for
Solaris Devpro compiler and tools which is set in the PATH shell
environment. Therefor, it doesn't agree with the statement above.
As the result, if one set a correct value for ALT_COMPILER_PATH
the value would not be picked up which can cause the build to fail.

Note: Other ALT_* environment variables seem to override the previous
settings.
 
The following environment settings and build log provides some details:
