[GRASS5] [bug #2649] (grass) compilation error: gcc does not take -KPIC

Subject: compilation error: gcc does not take -KPIC

Platform: Solaris2.X/Sparc
grass obtained from: CVS
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: 5.7 CVS 10-5-04

I tried to update Grass 5.3 and 5.7 from CVS today after a LONG time, and 5.3 compiled fine, but 5.7 didn't.  Running make, gcc kept spitting out 

"gcc: unrecognized option `-KPIC'"

This was never an issue before, and -KPIC isn't a flag when compiling 5.3.  What does it do?  How can I fix this?

Thanks,
