It might also the bus on the changer side. Maybe try it on different hardware?
You don't need to install anything to compile bacula on solaris 10. It ships
with everything (at least for every option I compile bacula with).
Let me know if you need anything for that.

Well, this system is not located close to me... the guys operating it
exchanged the *external* cabling, but did not touch the internal
cabling of the library (quite naturally).
Actually, the HBA and cables in use now are old, but the problem
existed with new HBA and cables, too.

Sure - once you've got the build environment. And that's not something
that should be installed on that box.
(I'm preparing a Solaris build ystem here, but with low priority).
