"Failed to create rounding.h!" during make

[Randy Rue]

Hello All,

I'm attempting to compile rsync on Solaris 10 x86 to include atime
support.

I've managed to patch the source, and install gcc and the necessary other
packages necessary to get as far as ./configure successfully (I'm afraid
I'm more of a linux than a solaris guy).

I'm unable to "make" the Makefile. Did some STFW'ing and have found
several variations of this problem. Other mentions have included
redirecting the output of this part of the code to stdout or a file
instead of /dev/null but it looks like my Makefile includes this already:
it redirects to rounding.out and cats that file after it fails. That is,
this section of Makefile:

----------------
flist.o: rounding.h

rounding.h: rounding.c rsync.h
        @for r in 0 1 3; do \
            if $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -o rounding
-DEXTRA_ROUNDING=$$r -I. $(srcdir)/rounding.c >rounding.out 2>&1; then \
                echo "#define EXTRA_ROUNDING $$r" >rounding.h; \
                if test -f "$$HOME/build_farm/build_test.fns"; then \
                    echo "EXTRA_ROUNDING is $$r" >&2; \
                fi; \
                break; \
            fi; \
        done
        @rm -f rounding
        @if test -f rounding.h; then : ; else \
            cat rounding.out 1>&2; \
            echo "Failed to create rounding.h!" 1>&2; \
            exit 1; \
        fi
        @rm -f rounding.out
-------------------

generates this output:

----------------------------

That long "if" line that appears to be generating the rounding.h file
seems to be failing but parsing exactly what it's supposed to be doing is
beyond me. Is there a way I can recreate that step from the shell to see
what it should be doing?

I welcome any guidance...
