Which "make" are you using?

My experience is that you can not be build octave with /usr/ccs/bin/make
or /usr/xpg4/bin/make. You must use GNU make. GNU make is not a part
of Solaris, but if you installed the software on the Solaris Supplement CD,
you will find "make" as /opt/sfw/bin/make.

I have built Octave using both GCC and make from /opt/sfw/bin, by adding
/opt/sfw/bin and /usr/ccs/bin (for "ar", "ranlib", and "nm") to the path....

    PATH=$PATH:/opt/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin
    ./configure ...
    make
    ...
