These coredumps are an error in Solaris and can be safely ignored. You can see 
a working
example of a package build description from OpenCSW at
  
<http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/libiconv/trunk/Makefile>

It says there

You need contract to view this or you can look at the corresponding bug in 
OpenSolaris:
