For the time being I have no influence on which compiler is used on this
box :-(.

The file .wrapper.log shows that gcc is called with parameters
'-Wl,-soname -Wl,libltl.something'. Inserting '-v' in this command line
further shows that this gets expanded to a call of the GNU program
'collect2' and then the error strikes.

If I replace the '-soname' parameter with '-h' (a parameter for the Sun
linker) all is well and the verbose output says something about
'Solaris linker version x.y'; I don't have the exact string available
here at home.

The gcc3 package is some prebuilt binary package, probably from
sunfreeware.com, and I would expect it to call the linker with correct
parameters.

If that's the case, does devel/libtool-base try to detect the linker on
on a given machine during its own installation and adjust the
parameters it uses when calling 'gcc' with 'mode=link'? I would rather
expect 'gcc' to accept always the same arguments and translate them for
the actual linker in use.
