Thanks, Kevin

(that's what I thought you meant) 

Yes, it looks like a Solaris + NFS issue, when I tried to compile a more
recent version of cvs in $HOME, `make check` also gave me a bunch of
"make: getcwd: : Permission denied" errors, and ended with 

./sanity.sh: cannot determine current directory
./sanity.sh: /check.log: cannot create
./sanity.sh: /check.log: cannot create
make[2]: *** [localcheck] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `'
make[1]: *** [check-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `'
make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1

In case it helps people with this problem in the future, the consensus
on google is that the NFS mount points have the wrong permissions, see
