Well since the ML branch was giving me soooo many problems I switched to
the HEAD brach for the time being becuase I wan't to get a release out
this weekend.
What I discoved is the the linker that the HEAD branch uses on solaris
EXCEPTS static libraries into the shared library. Also I siscoved that
excpetions won't work unless g++ is used to due the linking so I
set LD=g++ and everything works fine. Once again it links the static
library into the shared one....
Also when I try setting LD to g++ on linux it fails wisrably....
It there a way to forse the so called "file_magic" method to avoid
putting static libraries into shared one wven if the linker will accept
it?
