textutils 2.0 won't build on solaris 2.8, modified uniq.c attached

[David Mathog]

I did a little more work on my modified uniq.c and verified that it
would pass all diagnostics.  It allows records 2->4 or the last in a run
to be emitted (instead of just the first or all in a run of duplicates.)
It's attached.

Unfortunately when I went to build textutils on Solaris 2.8 it failed. 
I did;

(unpack distribuiton)
./config
./make

and it threw all sorts of errors about needing stpcpy and error in
cat.c.  Presumably
the configure file isn't quite right if it's not sorting that out.  But
when
I added those (manually) to the list in the makefile so that they'd end
up in
libtu.a then cat.c complained that it couldn't resolve symbol
strerror_r.  

Surely somebody has seen this before, what's the trick to compile this
on Solaris?
I was using gcc 3.0.3.

Thanks,
