Hi Пухальский,

Please consider quoting text you reply to.  Like this it is not visible
at all which part you answer to.  Thank you.

Thanks.  Looking at this in more detail, it seems to me that we fixed
this in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2004-03/msg00041.html
for branch-2-0 and HEAD.

Could you please try the backported patch below and report back?  


On the other hand: For how long have the Sun compiler drivers understood `-z'
without problems?  Maybe we can just set
  wl=-z
with them and get rid of the cruft in all branches?

Anyone else that uses Sun Studio?

Thanks,
Ralf

        * libtool.m4: When linking convenience libraries on Solaris
        with the Sun C++ compiler, pass convenience libraries through
        to the linker with -Qoption between allextract/defaultextract.
        The Sun C++ compiler bundles -Qoption arguments so
        convenience libraries are linked with defaultextract
        otherwise.
