Thanks for the heads-up. I installed the attached patches into Gnulib and the
resulting dfa-tests module works for me on Solaris 10 sparc (Oracle Studio
12.5). I don't have easy access to Solaris 9 (which Oracle no longer supports)
but from what you write this should work on Solaris 9 too.

Subject: [PATCH] dfa: port to Solaris 9
Problems reported by Tom G. Christensen in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2016-09/msg00031.html
* modules/dfa (Depends-on): Add isblank.
* modules/dfa-tests (dfa_match_aux_LDADD):
Rename from test_stat_LDADD, to fix typo.
* tests/dfa-match.sh: Don't require 'timeout'; use it if available.
