I had almost the same error compiling libxml on Solaris 10 x86 recently. 
In that instance the appropriate command was "ar", which was installed on 
the system, however I hadn't included /usr/ccs/bin in my PATH at the time 
I ran configure.  Once I reran configure with /usr/ccs/bin in my path I 
was able to compile without the error.

I was able to reproduce the problem under the conditions I just described 
with freeradius 1.1.4.  Here are all the warnings I received

It seems that, at least on Solaris 10, in some cases if the configure 
script can't find 'ar' then it likes to continue without warning (I don't 
recall seeing a warning with libxml, but I can't say for sure there wasn't 
one) and 'false' gets set as the command to use, which causes problems 
during the make. Is this appropriate behaviour, or should configure error 
if it can't find 'ar', a command that is apparently necessary for the 
compile to successfully complete?
