Bob - correct on all counts :)

It can be problematic though, even when the two libstdc++.so files are
symlinks or otherwise identical.  If you provide libstdc++.so in a "runtime
only" package, you don't want the compiler's location to be hardcoded.  The
fix is to simply force a particular path with -L in LDFLAGS.

As I mentioned before though, it may be that a library your project depends
on that's actually hard coded the wrong path - Solaris ld will still
complain about what you're currently linking.  I don't think PCRE depends
on anything else that is c++ though, so it's probably coming from libtool
adding something different.

I'm not really a fan of Libtool adding an explicit dependency for libstdc++
really.  Libtool won't do this if you're using a different c++ compiler,
and the only case where this might help you out would be when your main
program isn't c++, and since Libtool doesn't help with this in that
situation, it probably shouldn't treat gcc as a special case.
