Here are the rough instructions to getting things to build in spec-files -

 o Download and install the install image of SUNWspro into /opt/SUNWspro
 o Download and install pkgbuild from pkgbuild.sf.net
 o Install SUNWg4, SUNWgnu-automake-19, SUNWgnu-automake-110 through pkg(1)
   (there's likely other packages not installed by default, but they're
    available on pkg.opensolaris.org)
 o Install CBElibtool, CBEautoconf from the JDS CBE through pkgadd(1)
 o I grab env.sh from the CBE since it's useful for setting CC and friends,
   along with taking stuff out of your path
 o Grab ld-wrapper from CBE and put it in your path
 o Create symlinks for aclocal and automake to the 1.9 versions in /usr/bin.
   Set ACLOCAL_FLAGS to include '-I /opt/jdsbld/share/aclocal'
   (PSARC/2007/293 depresses the hell out of me and the approach taken)

Not pretty, but it's workable.
