I've since tested this on another x86 based OpenSolaris machine using
the same build 101b (11/2008) release.
$ cat /etc/release
OpenSolaris 2008.11 snv_101b_rc2 X86

Assembled 19 November 2008
I found the mpir configure script manages to work out the Sun linker is
used, and does not get it wrong like on Thommy's computer.
I created a new package which is the mpir code, but using the latest
versions of autoconf, automake and m4. That failed inside sage as mpir
is looking for the gmp library. (I thought it was supposed to be
replacement for gmp). Anyway, that is all I have done. So I've not
solved it.
