$ ./configure $ARGS
...
checking Linux compatible mremap()... no
checking whether shared mmaps get updated by write()s... no
checking whether fd passing works... no
configure: error: fd passing is required for Dovecot to work

Which in the log corresponds to:

configure:22685: ./conftest
./configure[2026]: eval: line 1: 22335: Memory fault(coredump)


Appears to the option "-mfunction-return=thunk" that cause the
problem,
remove and no core dump.  Older gccs do not have -mfunction-return.

Strictly speaking Solaris 11 does not ship with gcc, one can install it 
[from the OS vendor] with pkg and there is a choice of versions.

# pkg list -a | grep gcc-c


I have gcc versions installed: 4.9.5, 5.5.0, 6.4.0, 7.3.0 and 8.2.0.

dovecot wit that yet.
Current Release - Oracle Developer Studio 12.6.

Appears we need more thoroughly ensure -mfunction-return=thunk actually
works.

You can use --disable-harderning to disable these things.
