Of course, any modern Sun is 64-bit.

What I mean is that I believe the correct flag to produce position independent 
code is not always -K PIC with Sun's compiler. I believe if building 64-bit 
binaries it is different.

Certainly on compilers from IBM, HP etc, its a different flag each time. Unlike 
the -g for 'debug information', the is no standard for this. Libtool is the 
tool 
to take care of all this, and on the whole it appears to work well, though I 
have never used it myself.
