problem installing on Solaris 9 SPARC

Not sure if I am writing to the correct list but this was the address it
gave at the top of the "Supported Platforms" in the docs.

when I run: ./configure --without-readline, I get the following error that
aborts the config process:

"checking types of arguments for accept()... configure: error: could not
determine argument types"

----
I checked the config.log and found the following log msgs:
----

configure:10965: parse error before `accept'
