Solaris in general frowns on static libraries, (as should most
systems, IMO).  I do not know if the above are "basic libraries", but
I have three (3) wxWidgets installs on this system currently: CSW,
another third-party's, and a homebrew.  None of them include static
libs, or image or zlib libs, and I have no problem building against
them.

I've never tried to build "kicad", but since it is trying to link
non-existant libraries (according to a quick package search on
blastwave.org) , I would blame a broken "configure" script and/or
Makefile.

No, sorry. :(
