before you run make  you do a configure,

./configure  AR=gar

That did the trick, gar under solaris is gnu ar.

the same should hold for m4 and all other gnu tools,

I use open solaris

bash-3.00$ uname -a
SunOS solaris-devx 5.11 snv_64a i86pc i386 i86pc


It works.

bash-3.00$ gpg  --version
gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.8
