If you see a message about cross-compiling, and you're not, that
generally means that there's something seriously wrong with the compiler
as you're using it.
I suspect that in this case that it's the combination of /usr/ucb/cc and
-gO as options. In any case, using /usr/ucb/cc is completely the wrong
thing to do. Solaris's UCB compatibility is just good enough to lull
you into thinking that it might be worth wasting your time, and bad
enough that you will end up tearing out your hair wondering why
everything worked until you linked in some library, or some other subtle
failure makes your program start doing all sorts of mysterious things.
The Krb5 tree should work using either suncc or gcc, without any need
for the BSD compatibility libraries or the Solaris BSD compatibility C
compiler.
