You do not give a lot of information!

  * SPARC or x86?
  * A 32-bit or 64-bit build?
  * gcc or Sun Studio?

I've built 2.10.1 on 32-bit SPARC, though some of the optional modules do not 
install.

I have also tried 64-bit on OpenSolaris x64 using gcc, and that fails miserably.

The R manual says only Sun Studio works on Solaris 11, but that did not work for 
me either. I was intending reporting that one day.

I don't recall seeing an error like yours I must admit.
