I tried to reproduce this, but our Solaris box does not have GL installed. 
My understanding is that the real problem seems to be that Color.cpp is 
using undeclared ISO C functions and needs to include

#include <stdlib.h> // for realoc and free
#include <string.h> // for memcpy

so please try adding them.

As for the -dalign messages, I presume you included them (like -xlibmil) 
in CXXFLAGS.  They are supported by our SunPro compiler, so which version 
is yours?  (In any case, you need to remove it, if I guessed right.)
