Shared library problems on Solaris

[david . henderson]

I've just updated my compiler to GCC 2.95.3 on Solaris 2.5.1 ( sparc) and i'm
having problems with some C++ shared libraries.
I'm finding that any data initialized in the shared library is not correct (
it's null) when application programs come to us it. I'd rather not use static
versions of these libraries if it can be helped.

These shared libraries work ok when compiled with V4 of the Sun C++ compiler or
GCC 2.91.x on a Linux system.

Am i missing some compiler/linker options or is there a fault in this version of
the compiler. ( All 2.95.x version of GCC have given the same problem).
