Hi Andreas,

I have done this once. The problem is that Sun uses an ugly version of 
the /bin/sh(ell).

Try to change all "tests", which read "[ -L ...]" to "[ -h ...]".
Example in System/Library/Makefiles/Instance/framework.make:
lines reading:
         if [ ! -L "Current" ]; then \
should be changed to:
         if [ ! -h Current ]; then \

This should get you going.
I think another point was: simple "rm" was not enough to have make 
remove some stuff, so I made it "rm -f". Do not do this unless you 
really want! ;-)

Greetings

Alex.
