Problems with Sun CC v5.2 -- Newbie

[Carlos]

Hi all,
I have tried looking through the archives and on google but can't find a
solution.

I am trying to configure libtool 1.5.2 and am having problems.
Machine info:
bash-2.03$ uname -a
SunOS viper 5.8 Generic_108528-05 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60
bash-2.03$ CC -V
CC: Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 C++ 5.2 2000/09/11

It appears as if the CC compiler does not know how to deal with the K&R
style function definitions used in ltdl.c or in the tests.  I have tried
looking through the Sun CC documentation but I do not see any flags to
enable or disable this.  Am I missing something?

At first I tried to configure with the following:
./configure  CXX=CC CXXFLAGS=-KPIC LD=CC LDFLAGS=-xildoff CC=CC CFLAGS=-KPIC
but when trying to make it fails when trying to compile ltdl.c

Next I tried to disable ltdl:
./configure  CXX=CC CXXFLAGS=-KPIC LD=CC LDFLAGS=-xildoff CC=CC
CFLAGS=-KPIC --disable-ltdl-install

This time the make succeeds but the make check fails on about a 2/3 of the
tests.

Here is the output of cdemo-make.test:
bash-2.03$ ./cdemo-make.test

If anyone has had success with libtool on this platform let me know what
you did.

thanks,
