That is ok then.  (There could've been an issue with then shell
selection algorithm, that's why I asked.)

Hmm, that's not the bug that we fixed in CVS.  So let's investigate
further:  Snipping your output a bit:

This doesn't match.  Hmm, a bit familiar to this old bug
reported by Morten Welinder:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-libtool/2005-04/msg00044.html
which I never really understood (IIRC I did not have access
to a Solaris box back then).

Does `g++ -print-prog-name=ld' output `/usr/ccs/bin/ld'?
What's the output of `g++ -v'?

Do you have $LD set to anything?  Does `type ld' output
`/usr/dl/bin/ld'?

Please try to rerun the same command line as above, with
  LD=/usr/ccs/bin/ld
appended.  That should then either pass or leave us with
the error fixed in CVS, hopefully.

Thanks,
Ralf
