Upgrade to Solaris 8.  Solaris only guarantees application backwards
compatibility--- programs compiled on older releasse will run on newer
releases (with the usual exceptions).  You're trying to run a program
compiled on a newer release (Solaris 8) on an older version of Solaris
(Solaris 7) which is not guaranteed to work.

The sources for gmake are readily available (ftp.gnu.org) or you
can probably find a pre-compiled version of gmake (and lots of other
software) at www.sunfreeware.com.
