First, if you're using Solaris then this mailing list (make-w32) is not
appropriate any longer.

Second, the FSF does not distribute binary versions of its applications
(actually you can purchase a CD with prebuilt versions, but they're not
available via ftp.  The tar file you obtained contains the source code
only.

To learn how to compile it, please read the README and INSTALL files
that are provided in the distribution.
