This looks quite odd, because you're using gcc for the compilation,
but /usr/ucb/cc for linking.

On my Solaris 8 box, the linker used is /usr/ccs/bin/ld

Try adding /usr/ccs/bin to your PATH, run "make distclean" and
re-run the entire compilation with "./configure; make; make install".
For me, this builds without any problem. But I have the full GNU build
environment (autoconf, automake, binutils, gcc, make) installed from the
Sun Freeware site - this could make a difference.

If all fails, I think you have enough of RRDtool built to get on with
the Hobbit installation. The compile problem you have is with the 
rrdtool Perl modules, and Hobbit doesn't need those. So you can install
the run-time library and header-files like this:

   mkdir /usr/local/lib /usr/local/include /usr/local/bin
   cd rrdtool-1.2.23/src
   mv .libs/*.a .libs/*.la .libs/*.so* /usr/local/lib
   mv .libs/rrdtool .libs/rrdcgi rrdupdate /usr/local/bin
   cp rrd.h /usr/local/include
