I've been building newer versions of Samba on Solaris 10 SPARC for a while 
now.  Here are my build steps:

# Use gtar instead of Solaris tar (old example):
#  gunzip -c archive/samba-3.6.25.tar.gz | gtar xvf -
#
# apply patches:
# change the log level of connect/disconnect
gpatch -p0 < ../archive/samba-connection-debug-level.patch 
# syslog to LOCAL7 facility
gpatch -p0 < ../archive/samba-syslog-local7.patch

# use gnu99 standards
setenv CFLAGS -std=gnu99
# don't use utmp.  we don't need AD DC support
./configure --prefix=/private/samba --without-utmp --without-ad-dc
gmake
gmake install


Hope this helps!
