so which version of the plugins? and which files
did you modify/adapt and how?
the more relevant details you can provide the easier it
is to give a relevant answer, even without having to double
check it on a local machine.

i just checked through the build files of my cvs checkout of
the plugin source and the only place where i see a -c flag is
in combination with the c/c++ compilers not with make. so it
is a bit of mystery, why you are seeing it.

you make want to try running with 'gmake MAKE=gmake SOLARISX86'
to enforce using gmake and alternatively 'gmake -n MAKE=gmake SOLARISX86'

i don't have a slowaris machine here so i can only guess...

cheers,
   axel.
