The problem is a little wider than that. On systems were GNU ld was
installed before gcc, there's a big chance GNU ld will be the one gcc
calls to do the linking. And according to my experiments, tucking a
"PATH=/usr/ccs/bin:$${PATH}" in front of the gcc command didn't quite
help. On such a system, having solaris-shared instead of gnu-shared
fails enormously.
Now, the 0.9.6b release solved an issue that was far greater than the
support for shared libraries (which is still not really supported and
still in experimental status): the PRNG security problem.
I'm still about to check how I can solve the solaris-shared vs.
gnu-shared problem, it just wasn't highest priority so far.
