Solaris does not provide a C compiler of any type as part of the
standard system; if you want Sun's compiler you must purchase it
separately.

Obviously you cannot compile a C program (like GNU make) without a C
compiler.

Alternatively you can download prebuilt versions of the GNU C compiler
from GCC (or even prebuilt versions of GNU make...); one place to get
them is http://sunfreeware.com/

HTH.
