The problem with this is if -mt is passed to the Sun C compiler _without_ -lpthread/-lthread. From cc(1): -mt Passes D_REENTRANT to preprocessor. Appends -lthread after all other user-specified libraries on the command line. If you are doing your own multithread coding, you must use this option in the compile and link steps. To obtain faster execution, this option requires a mul- tiprocessor system. On a single-processor system, the resulting executable usually runs more slowly with this option.
So, to accommodate this, how about we use cc to create shared libraries on Solaris?
This problem is not specific to Solaris. The same problem occurs on Digital Unix, or any other OS where libtool doesn't currently use the C compiler to link.
Is there any technical reason why we need to use ld directly anymore?
Cheers,
Gary.
