Your compiler version is very old, and is complaining
about the -xildoff flag which is supported with the SC4.x compilers.
It is also possible that you are not using the cc compiler found in
/opt/SUNWspro/bin (instead you might have /bin/cc or gnu).
Ensure you are using SUN's C compiler and make programs by
setting your path with /opt/SUNWspro/bin:/usr/ccs/bin in
front of any other directories you might have C compilers in.

If you are using an outdated SC3.x compiler instead of SC4.x,
you will need to edit the $NAWIPS/config/Makeinc.sol configuration file
and remove the -xildoff option from the list of flags for COPT, FOPT and
LDFLAGS, eg:
COPT = -O -DUNDERSCORE -D$(OS)
FOPT = -O  
LDFLAGS = 

Once you edit out the -xildoff flag, you should be able to resume the
make by:
cd $NAWIPS
make all
