Help compiling

[Donald R. Kobayashi]

Hello,
I am attmpting to compile octave-2.0.9 on a sun sparc 20 running solaris 2.5.
I am using gcc-2.7.2 with g++ and libg++-2.7.1, and g77-0.5.17. I have
installed gnu make-3.76 and gnuplot-3.5, yet after about 35 minutes into the
'make' I get the following error: 

...
making Stack.d from Stack.cc
making SLStack.d from SLStack.cc
making SLList.d from SLList.cc
making Map.d from Map.cc
making BaseSLList.d from BaseSLList.cc
make[2]: Leaving directory  
`/export/mahi/dkobayas/software/octave-2.0.9/src'
make[2]: Entering directory 
`/export/mahi/dkobayas/software/octave-2.0.9/src'
make[2]: execvp: make: Bad address
make[1]: *** [src] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/export/mahi/dkobayas/software/octave-2.0.9'
make: *** [all] Error 2

'configure' runs fine, and my configure.log is:
Octave is now configured for sparc-sun-solaris2.5

This one's got me stumped for now. Any advice out there?  No fun when the 
error occurs so far into the make. My usual tactic of trial & error 
becomes impractical...  TIA,  Don
