I managed to solve the two problems reported below:

I have build again using -debug-level 1 (instead of 0) in Makefile.in
and found out that all problems were caused by regex code.
So I checked which "regex.h" files were available on the Sun. Unfortunately,
one from an old version (regex-0.12.tar.gz) was used :-)

So my advice to all seeing similar problems: make sure that a correct
regex.h is used; on our Sun (SunOS 5.9, gcc 3.3.2) this would be:
.../lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.3.2/include/regex.h
