 Bear in mind that libtool is used for linking libiconv.
 It has path to ld inside libtool script detected at compile time.
 Run the following command and anaylyse its output.
 If GNU ld was before SUN ld in PATH at *libtool build time*,
 GNU ld's options are used for building shared libraries.
 
 Run the following command
 
    grep ^archive_cmds= /usr/pkg/bin/libtool
 
 I guess, you'll see there -shared and -soname options instead of -G and
 -h, for example.
 
 Solution:
 1) Place /usr/ccs/bin before /usr/gnu/bin in PATH.
 2) Rebuild libtool-base package and install it.
    Just for test, run
 
    grep ^archive_cmds= /usr/pkg/bin/libtool
 
    and compare its output with currently installed libtool.
 
 I consider this is a local problem.
