I suspect this needs to be:
    include $(GAMMADIR)/make/solaris/makefiles/rules.make

Originally the managed hotspot Makefiles lived in the directory 'build'
which was also the output directory. This was changed at some point
and all managed files were moved into the 'make' directory.

Hotspot does 'create' some makefiles during the build process, and those
should land in the 'build' directory, but this one doesn't look like
a created one.
