OK! I omitted the bootstrap and tried to do configure and "make all" 
directly.

        cd avrdude-5.8
        ./configure
        make all

This led to

-bash-3.00# make all
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/share/src/Arduino/avrdude-5.8'

Can it be that difficult? What is this "AVRDUDE patch tracker" thing? 
Anybody got avrdude to run on Solaris? If so how do you connect your 
Arduino board to the Solaris machine (USB, PSI,...)? I am still not 
sure what components (programmer, cables,...) are required to flash 
this thing with avrdude!? Sorry, for the newbie noise!

Thanks,

 Andreas
