I can actually make it a lot easier, even on the same machine.
What makes it hard is my policy of making sure that absolutely
nothing is used that I don't specifically include.  This is to
test Freeciv's minimum requirements, but I do it with all software
I compile to minimize unexpected library version dependencies.
As a consequence,

  + Sun make and Sun cc are used
  + nothing that doesn't come from Sun is used by default
    (including everything GNU)

The only real problem you saw was the use of setenv()
in the GNU gettext test.
