That would be your problem then.  The test expects to use -lc_r on 5.x
and higher:

.if ${OSVERSION} > 500000
LINKIT= -lc_r
.else
LINKIT= -pthread
.endif

However, you should have libc_r on 5.4:

> uname -r
5.4-RELEASE-p1
> ls /usr/lib/libc_r*
/usr/lib/libc_r.a       /usr/lib/libc_r.so.5
/usr/lib/libc_r.so      /usr/lib/libc_r_p.a

So your machine would seem to be somewhat hosed unless you've deliberately
removed libc_r.
