Well, ok.  Seems somewhat silly that it's pulling mcs out of $PATH instead of
referring to it directly.  Many (most?) Solaris administrators have
/usr/ccs/bin in their $PATH, at least if they ever do any compiling.

The other error still exists, and the build still fails, after moving
/usr/ccs/bin/mcs out of the way.
