I can't see any argument to say that OpenIndiana is the problem here.

I can. cc should just work. Any system where cc doesn't just work is asking for trouble. In practice, the c99 command has more portability problems on various platforms than the cc command does. Plus, POSIX is going to change the name of the compiler to c11, so that's another portability hassle looming. So cc it is.

Normally 'configure' tries gcc first. I assume you didn't have that installed? You might try installing it.
