What I was going to comment before I've read this message was that there
used to be only one linker on Solaris. I.e. both gnu and vendor
compilers use same linker, so that you can't formally say "there seems
to be incompatibility between cc and gcc" implying that they use own
linkers. It's just one or another drives same linker crazy.

In either case. There seem to be Solaris issues popping up that I can't
reproduce. My installation is not fancy (for example I don't have vendor
compiler), but it worked at every occasion I've tested. As there
apparently are Oracle people on the list, I'd suggest they step up and
give us a hand sorting out things.
