Install on Solaris 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
