It looks like the makefile is trying to use -x04 which is an optimization flag for Solaris cc compiler. However, since you're using gcc and not Solaris cc, gcc doesn't understand the flag and thus doesn't know how to compile main.o for you.

In other words, it should work if you use the Solaris cc to compile instead of gcc. If you do want to use gcc, make sure that the Makefile.pl reflects that.
