Solaris 8 bootstrap fail - linking libnbcompat

[John Carr <jcarr%poethecat.com@localhost>]

Hey, all -


I may be one of the only people still trying to keep things running on 
older Solaris, but something I ran into on getting bootstrapping going. 
Is there a way in pkgsrc to override the linker that gcc is forcing? If 
not, maybe libnbcompat is assuming gnu ld?

Any thoughts?
