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?
Since we mostly use the C++ compiler to do linking for the C++ tag, it seems that there is no good reason that a similar approach can't be used for C. When linking using the linker, the library dependencies are more assured, but we loose all the platform smarts which are included for free with the compiler.
My thoughts exactly. If no-one beats me to it, I'll try and look at this
next week.
Cheers,
Gary.
