By latest stable build do you mean 2.2.5?
You should mention the Solaris release and
the compiler and compiler release.
On my Solaris 2.8 machine, with gcc 2.8.1, and fvwm 2.2.5,
configure does 3 checks for select(), this is the one that works:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/select.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
extern select(int, fd_set *, fd_set *, fd_set *, struct timeval *);
int main() {
; return 0; }
Try compiling that and see if it compiles OK.
