Re: [Urgent] ./bootstrap.sh from boost_1_70_0 is failing in SunOS

build.sh is intended for /bin/sh but uses bash-specific syntax $(command)

You need to either change first line to #!/bin/bash or change line 143 to
machine=`gcc -dumpmachine 2>/dev/null` which is /bin/sh's way to express
$(...)
Seems that Solaris's /bin/sh is really what the name says - the old POSIX
shell where on Linux it is a symbolic link to bash
