Ok, it is „gmake test"

It would generally be better if you installed it to check dependencies.

I can verify the behavior. During configure the detection is broken:

It is a bit elaborate and most of it comes from the build environment:

This is very strange, can you please post config.log directly to me (without mailing list)?
In the code „pty“ is only activated when HAVE_PTY is defined which is only the case
when pty.h is found which Solaris does not have:
  https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/pty_002eh.html

OpenCSW only has pty.h in /opt/csw/include/vte/pty.h from CSWvte which you did not include.
