How about this:

address@hidden
+When using the C++ compiler from the Sun Workshop (formerly Forte)
+development environment on either Solaris or Linux, libtool will use
address@hidden as the linker, and will not automatically link with either
address@hidden or @file{libCrun}.  This is because recent versions of
+Sun Workshop (11 and 12, as of this writing) have the option of using
address@hidden or @file{stlport4_dbg}, and those libraries are
+incompatible with @file{libCstd}.
+
+The correct method to link with the additional libraries that your project
+needs is to include each library in the @code{CXXFLAGS} when configuring your
+project.  For example,
+
address@hidden
+       CXXFLAGS='-library=stlport4 -library=Crun'
address@hidden example
+
+or
+
address@hidden
+       CXXFLAGS='-library=Cstd -library=Crun'
address@hidden example
