>Originator:     Julien T. Letessier
>Release:        Zoularis/Solaris8
>Organization:
Sun Labs Europe
>Environment:
SunOS mikdemia 5.8 Generic_108528-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise
>Description:
Under Solaris, several bundled libraries are either obsolete or otherwise unreliable. Some (e.g. gettext) can even only be linked to with the Sun CCS linker, not with GNU ld.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to compile e.g. devel/bonobo or x11/qt3-libs under Zoularis/Solaris8, with GCC.
>Fix:
The buildlink.mk files for the mentionned libraries (devel/zlib, archivers/bzip2, devel/gettext-lib, devel/ncurses, devel/readline) can be patched by allowing the environment to forcibly use the pkgsrc version of the libs.

The SunOS-specific makefile stub can the be patched to enforce use of the pkgsrc libraries.

Patches follow.
