This bit troubles me.

It's making the hard-coded assumption that the archetecture that you're
going to run the object code on supports the v8+ instruction set... which
are only UltraSPARC-based (sun4u and up) machines.

This essentially breaks APR for all sparcs that are not UltraSPARCs.

Also, use of -q for Sun 'as' is not recommended, per the as(1) man page on
Solaris 8.
