In case anyone is still interested... (no, I don't check this list very
often)

Yes, the problem is with the shared library building. You don't have to give
up shared libraries though, because you can patch the build to make them
correctly. Basically, you have to use Solaris binutils(specifically, ld)
with gcc (which, as I understand it, is "how you should do it anyway" so the
only thing is to get the build to do it right). If you apply this (hastilly
thrown together) patch to ltconfig in the top directory, you should be able
to build correctly (although, I haven't tried OpenJade, just OpenSP):

This should be fixed in the tools that generate ltconfig at some point,
although I don't have any idea when or how long it will take to filter into
OpenJade/SP (that is, I thought it would be by now, but it isn't).
