new build system build fails on Solaris/x86

| Yes, for the root of the tree, and also for any libraries that need it.

Is that necessary.  Can't those little Makefiles simply be part of the source tree?  One less thing to go wrong.  In general we are trying *not* to generate Makefiles in the new setup.
