  bunzip -c insight*bz2 | tar -xvf -
  cd insight-5.2.1
  mkdir =b
  cd =b
  CC=`whence cc` CFLAGS=-xO4 ../configure --prefix=/u/local
  gmake
  #  eyeball output
  gmake install

Of course, I really only supplied the --prefix option.

I should have typed, "gmake" and typed plain "make" instead for this
particular problem.  Later typing "gmake" got me through the issue.

So, I did not use:

However, automake is supposed to create generic makes.
The offensive line was, approximately:

  mumble.o : ${BUILD_DIR}/grumble.c

and Sun's make does not like "${BUILD_DIR}".
It seems you expect gcc, too:

If so, "configure.in" should make an explicit demand.
If not, this option has to be configured.
