>Description:
We're creating binaries to run on our Solaris 8 clients using NetBSD pkgsrc (specifically, the frozen 2003Q4 version). We're using the lang/gcc3 package to pick up the SPARC optimizations. On occasion, we're run into the issue when creating shared libraries using Sun's /usr/ccs/bin/ld which causes missing symbols (like __floatdidf for example). After some research, this is due to a dependency on libgcc.a, which had the missing symbols.

Since devel/libtool-base appears (to me) to be a fork of GNU libtool, I looked in the GNU libtool CVS for a fix, and I found the following patch added to devel/libtool/patches took care of the problem. Basically, what it does is use 'gcc -shared' instead of '$LD -G' to create shared libraries on Solaris. Share and enjoy!
