Re: configure error under solaris 8, nmap-5.21

[Regis Jones <ordsec () gmail com>]

I'd like to add some additional testing I've since done, appreciating
that this is a harder to find platform/os:

nmap-5.20 has this same issue in configure
nmap-5.10BETA2  has this same issue in configure (same line number 6651 too)
but...
nmap-5.00 will configure without error
nmap-4.76 will configure without error

So whatever is amiss happened between 5.00 and 5.10BETA2 .

Perhaps related:  I've also just discovered that make is missing on
this box.  LOL.
