sharutils 4.8 fails to compile on Solaris 9 sparc

[Zube]

On a fully patched Solaris 9 sparc machine, using either cc or gcc 3.4.6, 
the build gets to shar and then:

Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
gnu_basename                        shar.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to shar
gmake[2]: *** [shar] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/stat/src/sharutils/sharutils-4.8/src'
gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/stat/src/sharutils/sharutils-4.8'
gmake: *** [all] Error 2

Cheers,
