You can have a look here:
http://www.science.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2/Q6.24.html

In a nutshell "In Solaris 2.x, static linking is not supported for any
of the system libraries".
 
Generally it does not seem to be a good idea to use static linking on 
Solaris. 

You may also have a look at this:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-binutils/2001-q3/msg00038.html

Maybe running "strip texmacs.bin" on the installed binary after the
installation is complete would fix it...

I am no Solaris expert... I just did a bit of Googling and it seems
that problem is well known. I hope you will be able to fix it and
enjoy TeXmacs.
