Install on opensolaris 2008.05

I'm building an opensolaris box, and am running into test failures when compiling git.

 I'm installing on opensolaris 2008.05 and the tests fail in
t0002-gitfile.sh  ( test numbers 2 and 3 ) is this expected/ok?

*** t0002-gitfile.sh ***
*   ok 1: initial setup
* FAIL 2: bad setup: invalid .git file format

                echo "gitdir $REAL" >.git &&
                if git rev-parse 2>.err
                then
                        echo "git rev-parse accepted an invalid .git file"
                        false
                fi &&
                if ! grep -qe "Invalid gitfile format" .err
                then
                        echo "git rev-parse returned wrong error"
                        false
                fi

* FAIL 3: bad setup: invalid .git file path

                echo "gitdir: $REAL.not" >.git &&
                if git rev-parse 2>.err
                then
                        echo "git rev-parse accepted an invalid .git file path"
                        false

                if ! grep -qe "Not a git repository" .err
                then
                        echo "git rev-parse returned wrong error"
                        false
