The current CVS snapshot and 1.0-test14 will not build on Solaris 8 because it does not provide a sendfile() funtion. It just has sendfilev(). Solaris 9 has sendfile(), though.

Doesn't the configure detect that you don't have it? It shouldn't define HAVE_SOLARIS_SENDFILE if it isn't there (if sendfile library doesn't have sendfile() function).

No, it doesn't. The test for the linux sendfile() function uses ac_compile, no ac_link. So all you get is an "implicit declaration" warning in configure.log, but since the final check is for test -z a.out configure will always happily detect linux sendfile.
