Sorry to self reply? got past this by using my sunfreeware / more modern bash to
run configure instead of the Solaris 8 ?sh?.

On to the next error ! ;)

So with a bit of hacking and tweaking, I think I?m really close to having the
build finish successfully.  I make it to a part with nut-scanner and I get this:

Regenerating the USB helper files in SRC dir.
Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at
../tools/nut-usbinfo.pl line 237.
*** Error code 29

I added ?-?without-usb? to configure, but it?s still hitting this part.

Anyone know what this is ?  Or - is there something I can further disable using
./configure that will skip this ?

Thanks.
