Disclaimer: I haven't compiled code for Solaris in a long time

I'm assuming you're trying to compile the code from here:
   http://www.sunfreeware.com/programlistsparc10.html#gnupg

I've found a discussion on trying to compile another program on Solaris x86, 
and what's interesting is that depending on the version of Solaris the 
stdint.h header either is or is not available:
   http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=478257

With version:
   SunOS aequitas 5.11 snv_138 i86pc i386 i86pc

the stdint.h header is there, but with version:
   SunOS titan 5.8 Generic_127722-03 i86pc i386 i86pc

it's not.  This isn't the same architecture, but this at least gives me a clue 
that the lack of the header/library is likely version-specific.
