Bruce,

I suspect the problem is that traditional /bin/sh (normally
used under Solaris) does not support an empty item list
in a for loop where as we don't run into this with bash on
linux platforms.

To work around this try editing gdal/GNUmakefile
and changing:

swig-target:
	(cd swig; $(MAKE) build)

to:
swig-target:

I would also appreciate it if you could file a bug on this in
bugzilla so we can ensure it is fixed for the 1.3.2 release.

Best regards,
