Unfortunatly not, because automake etc aren't installed on the Solaris
box, and I don't have root on that machine.

Could be. We're using version 7.10.5 currently, which does build there.
I'll apply my changes to that version instead. I'll also look around and
see if I can get someone to loan me a Solaris box with root permission
and try it there (might have to do that over the weekend though).
