More on gcc/Solaris libtool problem

[Bob Friesenhahn]

After some spelunking, I find that the reason libtool is not
determining the correct PIC flags under Solaris is that even though
configure determines that the the compiler is the GNU C compiler, this
is not properly picked up by libtool.  I see this in the generated
libtool script:

# Is the compiler the GNU C compiler?
with_gcc=no

even though configure reports the following while it is running:

checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes

It seems that whatever interface is used to pass this info from
Autoconf to libtool (presumably with_gcc environment variable) is not
working any more.
