Okay... so that gives us a few workarounds:

 - don't specify -no-undefined (so -z text is not used)
 - link against libsnprintfv.la (the PIC library)
 - use GNU ld to link
 
The second option seems like the best one to me.  Is that about right,
Alexandre?

More fundamentally, this means -no-undefined and convenience libraries
don't mix on Solaris, which is IMHO a bug in libtool =(O|

Cheers,
        Gary.
