regarding the setenv problem i've just seen that
there is still code in gv-3.6.1 to make it working
on solaris.

the only problem is that there is a little bug in
configure.ac:
===
AC_ARG_ENABLE(setenv-code, AC_HELP_STRING([--enable-setenv-code],[Use extra 
code for setenv() and getenv(). Defaults to `yes'])
,
[case "${enableval}" in
   yes) opt_setenv_code=true ;;
   no)  opt_setenv_code=false ;;
   *) AC_MSG_ERROR(bad value ${enableval} for --enable-setenv-code) ;;
 esac],[opt_setenv_code=false])
===

Defaults to `yes'
=============^^^
is wrong.

i think configure should check itself if
the functions (setenv/unsetenv) are available.
then you dont need the AC_ARG_ENABLE at all.
