Which 'make' and 'ld' are you using out of curiosity? When I build
amanda, for OpenCSW, I use the following options and I'm using GNU-make
and /usr/ccs/bin/ld, and Sun compiler and it always builds cleanly.

./configure \
        --prefix=/opt/csw \
        --with-user=amanda \
        --with-group=sys \
        --with-owner=$USER \
        --enable-manpage-build \
        --with-bsd-security \
        --with-bsdtcp-security \
        --with-bsdudp-security \
        --with-ssh-security \
        --with-fqdn \
        --with-index-server=localhost \
        --with-tape-server=localhost \
        --with-gnutar=/opt/csw/bin/gtar \
        --with-gnuplot=/opt/csw/bin/gnuplot

FYI, I'd set your amanda users group to 'sys' since it's the default
group permission for the raw disk devices on Solaris.
