Same for ALL the utilities built Make sure that your GCC installation is configured and built for the version of Solaris you are building libtiff on. Your GCC installation seems suspect since the GDB build you are using is from Solaris 2.5. When GCC is installed, it installs "fixed" headers which are modified system headers, causing the installation to be OS version specific. I use libtiff under Solaris 9, built with GCC 3.4.2, without any such problems.
