I'd say it's trying to execute a file called `-o', offhand.

This should be

${CC} ${CCFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS} -o $@ ${AG_OBJECTS}

I'm not at all familiar with Solaris, but looking at the Makefile, I 
suspect you're lucky it was a fairly simple one since it looks like 
Solaris does a number of things differently.  It obviously expects 
${LDFLAGS} to somehow morph into ${LDLIBS}.
