1. Why is "Makefile" being used as a command? What does it signify? It is not defined anywhere in any other make file also.
There is no evidence in the posted material Makefile is used as a command. Nowhere is it executed. That would be quite surprising anyway.

2. What is a .mac file in Solaris? what is it's purpose?
No specific purpose, there are no .mac type with Solaris, the developers might have chosen that extension for macros or whatever.

3. What is the use of .def file in SOlaris? What is it's purpose?
Same as the above. The best guess would be some defines.
