Thanks again Jonathan.
/usr/ucb/install no longer exists in Solaris 11.3 i86pc:
solaris3:~$ ls -Al /usr/ucb/install
/usr/ucb/install: No such file or directory
solaris3:~$ uname -a
SunOS solaris3. 5.11 11.3 i86pc i386 i86pc
The config files need to be patched:
# Solaris 11.3 no longer has /usr/ucb/install
for file in $(find "$PWD" -name 'config*')
do
if [[ ! -f "$file" ]]
then
continue
fi
sed -e 's|/usr/ucb/install|install|g' "$file" > "$file.fixed"
mv "$file.fixed" "$file"
chmod +x "$file"
touch -t 197001010000 "$file"
done
But I think I tracked it down to sane tool path. originally I was using:
SANE_TOOL_PATH="..." \
./configure ...
When I changed it to:
./configure ... \
--sane-tool-path="..."
most of the errors went away.
I also removed a bunch of old patches and hacks that don't seem to be
needed for Git 2.21.0. Between both of them I am building Git on
Solaris again.
Related to /usr/ucb, also see

Thanks again.
