Rebooting the Solaris system, releasing allocated memory and swap,
has allowed buildconf and configure to complete sucessfully. Further
tests on the system might allow determination of the problem origin.

148 - Introduction of m4/reentrant.m4 is triggering some problems on Solaris
systems. The problem manifests when buildconf runs aclocal, at some point
aclocal fails when using GNU m4 version 1.4.5 it runs out of memory. If
GNU m4 version 1.4.11 is used everything works. Lots of tests have been
done which have allowed to discard many possible pitfalls on our side.
As of right now my main suspect is which 'sed' binary is being used by
aclocal, if it is a broken sed, aclocal might be feeding garbage to m4.
As a consecuence of al this tries and tests the inclusion method of
m4/reentrant.m4 has been changed several times, and should finally be
changed back to the proper '-I m4' method which was used initially and
that didn't fail on other systems.

UPDATE:
* sed cannot be the culprit aclocal and autom4te are perl scripts and
don't use 'sed'.
* autom4te matches autoconf version and aclocal matches automake's.
* Even when directly copying into acinclude.m4 the contents of file
reentrant.m4 and having the '-I m4' thing disabled the problem
persists.
* Reinstated the 'aclocal -I m4' in buildconf and 'ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS =
-I m4' way of including our local m4/reentrant.m4 file. This even
takes care of including the file in the distribution tarball.
* Rebooting the problematic system, releasing allocated memory and swap,
has allowed buildconf and configure to complete sucessfully. Further
tests on the system might allow determination of the problem origin.
