Solaris doesn't like the configure script

  $ ./configure
  Checking for gcc...
  ./configure: test: argument expected

I traced that to this section of code in configure

if test "$gcc" -eq 1 && ($cc -c $cflags $test.c) 2>/dev/null; then
  CC="$cc"
  SFLAGS="${CFLAGS-"-O3"} -fPIC"
  if test -z $uname; then
    uname=`(uname -s || echo unknown) 2>/dev/null`
  fi

Specifically this line

  if test -z $uname; then

There is the same problem with is section of code

  # find system name and corresponding cc options
  CC=${CC-cc}
  if test -z $uname; then
    uname=`(uname -sr || echo unknown) 2>/dev/null`
  fi

The enclosed patch fixes both of these. 

1.2.3.3 builds fine on Solaris 10 with both gcc & Sun C after the patch is
applied to configure.
