Re: configure fails for dar 2.6+ on Solaris

Yeah, it makes sense to me that it's an issue with the toolchain... I have
some experience doing this on Linux, but I am far from an expert on Solaris
and am only building it this way so dar can run directly on the OmniOS
storage device.

And I think the pkgconfig suggestion is likely part of it as well - I went
back and installed/reinstalled a lot of the developer/* tools, much as
Denis did, in the course of switching compiler versions, and pkgconfig may
have been pulled in too. I hadn't realized anything was missing since the
compile for dar 2.5.22 finished OK, and like Mihai said, I had tried to
disable everything that I knew wouldn't work on Solaris. I'll probably try
again with gcc 9 once I get the system updated to the latest OmniOS, but
with the released source package next time.

Thanks everyone for your attention. Hopefully something useful came out of
all this.
