 I am unable to locate sparc-sun-solaris2.8 and conftest.c in the erts
folder.

This part is from erts/config.log:

configure:3733: checking size of short
configure:3752: gcc -o conftest -g -O2
-I/aims_home/sailajar/erlang/otp_src_R9C-2/erts/sparc-sun-solaris2.8
conftest.c -lncurses -lresolv -ldl -lm  -lsocket -lnsl 1>&5
configure: failed program was:
#line 3741 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
  FILE *f=fopen("conftestval", "w");
  if (!f) exit(1);
  fprintf(f, "%d\n", sizeof(short));
  exit(0);
}

I see no error printout. Try to paste the failing program from
"#line 3751 ..." to "}" into a file "configure" and then run
that gcc command above on it and see what fails. If it is
linking that fails - check your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

And yes, Erlang is compatible with Solaris 8. It is our main internal
platform and our most important license customer platform. They run
on our binary release, though. But compiling open source Erlang for
Solaris 8 should be no problem. You probably have some problem in
your compiler/linker installation.
