Your recollection is incorrect: linking against lib<NNNN>.a works
on Solaris *exactly* the same way it works on Linux.

I do not know any UNIX platform to which this solution is not
portable (hence my question), but you can definitely eliminate
the following from potential candidates (these are the OSes I have
some experience with): AIX, Dynix, HP-UX, Solaris, SunOS4, Irix,
OSF-1, Linux. I am 99% certain it also works on BSD and MacOS X.
