Right.  It's not make that's not acceptable, it's cc (your C compiler).
Why did you think it was make that was causing your problem?

Anyway, Solaris does not provide a C compiler with the base operating
system.  You cannot build GNU make (or any other program) from source
without a compiler.

So, you have to go get Sun's compiler (but this costs $$) or go get a
pre-compiled version of GCC (try sunfreeware.com or similar).
