I am having trouble compiling coreutils-8.5 on Solaris 5.10 on the Intel platform using cc.

Firstly I had the following error during ./configure:

checking whether <wchar.h> uses 'inline' correctly... no
configure: error: <wchar.h> cannot be used with this compiler (/tool/sunstudio12.1/bin/cc -xc99=all -g  -D_REENTRANT).

This seemed similar to the problem in this question. The solution was to edit configure and replace the reference of -xc99=all to -xc99=all,no_lib.

This permitted the configure to complete.

Then I ran /usr/sfw/bin/gmake and it progressed until I received the following message:

Making all in src
gmake[2]: Entering directory `/home/peterp/src/coreutils-8.5/src'
gmake  all-am
gmake[3]: Entering directory `/home/peterp/src/coreutils-8.5/src'
  CCLD     chroot
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
eaccess                             ../lib/libcoreutils.a(euidaccess.o)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to chroot

What could cause this problem?

PS I was only compiling coreutils because I wanted colour ls.
