Re: garnome 2.10.0 compile issues on Solaris 8

[Eugene Bradley <ebradley synopsys COM>]

Thanks for those of you who have helped me.  I have to get several 
newer versions of the GNOME utilities for Solaris.  Ensuring
/usr/ccs/bin in $PATH has helped a little bit as Solaris appears
to have gotten its act together and started including GNU bins.

I still have some compile issues which I have included below.  
It appears to bomb on mkdir, which I have v. 5.2.1 from the
coreutils package.  I am trying to figure out what is going
on now.  Seems building GNOME requires a saint's patience...
