problem configuring bind-9.3.0rc4 on Solaris8

[Brian Wilson]

ar isn't in the path by default on Solaris 8.

ksh
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin
./configure

you may want to switch the order of ccs/bin and xpg4/bin on your own 
preference.  you may also want to do a bunch of other stuff before running 
configure.  This should just make sure you get ar and a bunch of other 
needed stuff in your PATH, if it's installed on your system.
