Hi,
  This is likely due to using the standard Solaris 'make' utility,
the plugin makefile requires the use of the GNU make utility due
to the complexity of the build process and the necessity to use several
extensions to the standard 'make' dependency rules. On our Solaris
systems (and others that don't use GNU make by default) we install
GNU make as 'gmake'. Try using GNU make and I think your problem
will go away. This is mentioned explicitly in the plugin tree compilation
instructions here:

Cheers,
  John Stone
