Looks like nettle 2.5 should build pretty much out of the box but the Makefiles seem to have a few issues.

After one tosses a ./configure at it we can build just fine up until a lingage is requires thus :

$ ./configure checking build system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.10 checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.10 checking for -R flag... using -R Searching for libraries checking /usr/local/lib/lib... not found checking /usr/local/lib... added checking /sw/local/lib... not found checking /sw/lib... not found checking /usr/gnu/lib... not found checking /opt/gnu/lib... not found checking /sw/gnu/lib... not found checking /usr/freeware/lib... not found checking /usr/pkg/lib... not found checking for gcc... /opt/solarisstudio12.3/bin/cc checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking for suffix of executables... . . . etc etc . . .

First thing wrong there is that libgmp does exist just fine.

... anyways .. fire off a gmake and it all looks golden :

$ gmake gmake all-here gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/build/nettle-2.5_sparcv9_001' /opt/solarisstudio12.3/bin/cc -I. -I/usr/local/include:/usr/sfw/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -errfmt=error -erroff=%none -errshort=full -xstrconst -xildoff -m64 -xmemalign=8s -xnolibmil -Xa -xcode=pic32 -xregs=no%appl -xlibmieee -mc -g -xs -ftrap=%none -Qy -xbuiltin=%none -xdebugformat=dwarf -xunroll=1 -xtarget=ultraT2 -xcache=8/16/4:4096/64/16 -D_TS_ERRNO -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -KPIC -Bdynamic -KPIC -Bdynamic -c aesdata.c \ && true /opt/solarisstudio12.3/bin/cc -errfmt=error -erroff=%none -errshort=full -xstrconst -xildoff -m64 -xmemalign=8s -xnolibmil -Xa -xcode=pic32 -xregs=no%appl -xlibmieee -mc -g -xs -ftrap=%none -Qy -xbuiltin=%none -xdebugformat=dwarf -xunroll=1 -xtarget=ultraT2 -xcache=8/16/4:4096/64/16 -D_TS_ERRNO -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE aesdata.o -o aesdata /opt/solarisstudio12.3/bin/cc -I. -I/usr/local/include:/usr/sfw/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -errfmt=error -erroff=%none -errshort=full -xstrconst -xildoff -m64 -xmemalign=8s -xnolibmil -Xa -xcode=pic32 -xregs=no%appl -xlibmieee -mc -g -xs -ftrap=%none -Qy -xbuiltin=%none -xdebugformat=dwarf -xunroll=1 -xtarget=ultraT2 -xcache=8/16/4:4096/64/16 -D_TS_ERRNO -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -KPIC -Bdynamic -KPIC -Bdynamic -c desdata.c \ && true . . . ... and then link goes boom because of the totally missing options to the compiler/linker :

For some reasons your makefiles seem to forget that this may be a 64-bit sparc server and you toss away the $CFLAGS entirely.

If I try to continue from here .. all is beautiful and we get a nice clean build. Piles of warnings and lots of noise about "incompatible with prototype" stuff but certainly compilable and buildable.

what the heck is a po file ?

Anyways ... makefiles seem a bit off and a autoreconf --verbose --install may be needed after a tweak to Makefile.am or similar.
