Thank you for a problem report. Sorry, but I can not repeat the EXACT problem you described on our Solaris 10 machine. I my case I've got:

rm -f libedit.a
ar cru libedit.a chared.o el.o history.o map.o prompt.o readline.o search.o toke
nizer.o vi.o common.o emacs.o hist.o key.o parse.o read.o refresh.o sig.o term.o  tty.o help.o fcns.o unvis.o vis.o fgetln.o
ranlib libedit.a

NOT 

false cru libedit.a... 

So, it looks like your configure was not able to find "ar" utility. Check your PATH settings.

I had used the following commands to build:

export PATH=/export/home/mysqldev/sol10-x86/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/sfw/lib
CFLAGS="-O3" CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O3 -felide-constructors \
-fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" ./configure --prefix=/users/vkravchuk/dbs/5.0-sol10 --enable-assembler --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static
make clean
make

on the following machine:

-bash-3.00$ uname -a
SunOS sol10-x86 5.10 Generic i86pc i386 i86pc
-bash-3.00$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.10/3.3.2/specs
Configured with: ../configure --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --disable-nls
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.2

I can repeat it (but it doesn't stop on error) on Solaris 9:

It looks like everything goes correctly after, but am I going to have problems later once the software has been installed?

forgot to paste this part:

rm -f libedit.a
ar cru libedit.a chared.o el.o history.o  map.o prompt.o readline.o  search.o to
kenizer.o vi.o  common.o emacs.o hist.o key.o  parse.o read.o refresh.o sig.o  t
erm.o tty.o help.o fcns.o unvis.o vis.o fgetln.o

So it doesn't crash because I have "ar". But again, is it going to create problems in the future?
