OK.

I can't see where convenience libraries are involved here. In any case: We need more information, see below for a list. > augmented with a little discussion on "comp.unix.solaris".

Not with C, there aren't, when using Libtool >= 1.5.16. (If you use any older version: update to 1.5.18, please). > If not, then where might we (as beginners) begin? Grab Libtool 1.5.18, post output of `configure' run, config.log, output of make check VERBOSE=x (please bzip2 or gzip large attachments). Show how the packages that fail are built: post the relevant `libtool --mode=link' lines and what they output. In case you are unsure what is relevant, post more so relevant stuff is included in any case. > (Incidentally: this may or may not be relevant to the above: in my own > case, I know that our GNU ld and libtool are somewhat out-of-date.

If someone can guide > me, I'd be happy to try to pursue this futher.) I bet this is related, it tests dlopening. Execute make check VERBOSE=x TESTS='mdemo-conf.test mdemo-make.test mdemo2-conf.test mdemo2-make.test mdemo2-exec.test' and post the output (This is a subset of the check above). Just FYI for the other Libtool developers: If Solaris 10 turns out to need a Libtool update, I can probably do one next weekend. Blind guessing makes me believe it's a ld bug rather than a Libtool bug, but let's not jump to conclusions here.
