If you search for "error" from the beginning of your gcc output, the
first match is
error: `::btowc' has not been declared
If you paste that into google, the first result you'll see is a post
to matplotlib from Mike Rightmire, who offlist and with the help of
Thomas Wessell, worked around this problem with a brute force
approach. I believe Erik Curiel had a similar problem on a solaris
box recently.
The most informative google result I saw was when I took you error
message and added some quotes to reduce false matches
error: `::btowc' "has not been declared"
[Aside: putting double quotes around the entire string did not match
this result; apparently google does not handled nested quotes very
well.] Fourth from the top and was

This thread is not related to matplotlib, and first response there
isn't too helpful, but if you follow the rest of the thread you'll get
lots of good information. In particular, this response looks helpful

Nadia is the only person I know personally who actively compiles mpl
on a solaris box; I hope she has some suggestions for you.
Cheers,
