Hello, the gcc3 I was using from solaris repositories was using 
/usr/ccs/bin/ld which is solaris ld (confirmed with gcc 
-print-prog-name=ld). I changed to gcc4 from blastwave repositories 
which that same command simply responds with 'ld', so it uses the search 
path, so i created /opt/compat/bin and copied gnu ld to 
/opt/compat/bin/ld and the problem has been fixed since.

[ address@hidden ]: /usr/bin/libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.22 (1.1220.2.365 2005/12/18 22:14:06)

Thanks,
