I've done some testing and bug fixing using the Solaris build service, thanks very much Dago!

The Guile library provided on these systems was compiled with GCC, not the Sun Studio compilers. As a result, the guile-pkg command that configure uses to determine what the linker flags should be to link with Guile are returning GCC linker flags. In particular, the "-pthreads" flag generated here: $ pkg-config --cflags guile-2.0 -D_REENTRANT -pthreads -I/opt/csw/include/guile/2.0 -I/opt/csw/include is a GCC flag that is not valid to the Sun Studio linker, so it interprets that flag as if it were: -p -t -h -r -e -a -d -s Hence, the error about the -h flag. I don't actually have any good ideas about how to fix this problem. Most likely this is something that needs to be raised with the autoconf, pkgconfig, and/or Guile folks. In the meantime if you compile make with GCC instead of Sun Studio it works properly with Guile. You could also supply the GUILE_CFLAGS variable to configure to override the pkg-config output. Of course you could also build Guile with Sun Studio and that would likely work as well (but now perhaps you wouldn't be able to compile with GCC). I also found that for some reason configure is determining that libc contains a GNU gettext implementation which is clearly not true, and thus leaving off the -lintl library causing link errors. Finally, because the GNU libraries are not installed in the standard locations you need to add "LDFLAGS=-R/opt/csw/lib" to the configure line so that GNU make will know where to look for the guile, etc. libraries at runtime. Using LD_LIBRARY_FLAGS is not a good idea because it will break other programs. After working around these issues and my regression test fixes (to be pushed shortly), I am able to build on Solaris 11 with the Sun Studio compiler and get 100% test coverage, including Guile support: 540 Tests in 119 Categories Complete ...
