Thanks Ross! Unpacking with GNU tar fixed the problem. Ross Paterson writes:

Hi, Looks like a Makefile problem. If you don't have time or a Solaris system, I'll look at this when I have time. FYI, The last release built fine on this system.

A lot of stuff that should be under fptools/libraries appears to be missing, e.g.

fptools/libraries/base/include/Dynamic.h fptools/libraries/base/Text/ParserCombinators/Parsec.hs

This may be the known tar incompatibility problem: you need to unpack the tarball with GNUtar (gtar) instead of Solaris tar.
