It has checks; well, the *new* ltmain.sh checks for matching macro
files.  I've never gotten around to looking to let the new macros check
for matching ltmain.sh too, but I guess we should have that as well.
Sorry.

Yeah, the Libtool macros are fairly dumb in that they only detect Sun
C++ when it's called CC I think.  Is the C compiler pic flag ok though?

I guess we could change the match (around line 3826 in current git) to
   CC* | sunCC*)

That's hopefully just a followup failure of the above.  Nope, needs
another
  CC* | sunCC*)

around line 6258.

BTW, what's the output of these for you?
  sunCC -V
  suncc -V

Thanks,
