trouble building OTP R7B_1

[Ulf Wiger]

I'm having trouble building OTP R7B_1 on my Solaris 7 workstation.
The error messages look exactly like those that I encountered when
trying to build OTP R6B - as I recall, I solved the problem then by
downloading the prebuilt commercial version...

As far as I can tell, make is looking for
sparc-sun-solaris2.7/Makefile inside otp_src_R7B-1/erts/emulator.
There is no such directory.
