Thanks for all this information and you have all pointed me in the right 
direction. The reason I get this error now is that I have upgraded to 
Solaris 11.4 and GCC 7.3 (Solaris 11.4 does not come with gcc 4 any more)

- Solaris 11.3 and gcc 4.x all works OK.

- Solaris 11.3 & 11.4 and gcc 7.3 fails with the given error.

- Solaris 11.3 & 11.4 and gcc 7.3 add "./configure --disable-hardening" 
and it all works.

Thanks,

Andrew
