"nothing is reported"?  I get 43904 lines of output, starting with:

   + set -o emacs
   + alias dirs=echo $PWD $OLDPWD
   + alias hi=fc -l -10
   + : dew.twinsun.com
   + PS1=!-${HOSTNAME%%.*} \$ 
   + test -n 
   + test -n 
   + 1> /dev/null 2>& 1
   + as_unset=unset
   + unset ENV MAIL MAILPATH
   + PS1=$ 
   + PS2=> 
   + PS4=+ 
   + unset LANG
   + unset LANGUAGE
   + unset LC_ADDRESS
   ...

You mention that you have another Solaris 2.6 host that works properly.
Does "ksh -x configure" work OK for you on that host?  If so, where
do the hosts start to differ?

But I recall that some systems don't support multiple args in #!.
