Um, I wasted some time on gcc 3.x, and decided to stay at 2.95.3 for now.
I'm running the following lines after running configure, and libtool
works fine now:

sed \
        
'/^LIBADD_DL/s,$,-L/soft/gcc-2.95.3/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/2.95.3 
-lgcc,' 
        libltdl/Makefile >libltdl/Makefile.fixed
mv libltdl/Makefile.fixed libltdl/Makefile

Thanks for that tip! :-)
Now to teach zlib to use libtool next...

cool, thanks for that in advance!

Let me add a work of thanks for all the libtool developers for providing a
nice tool that gives a uniform interface to shlib creation on many
platforms. (I use libtool in the NetBSD packages collection which works on
quite a number of a.out and ELF platforms, besides Solaris ;-)
