It is a long standing bug with gcc using native ld on solaris,
revealed in this release because I have started using assert() in
ltdl.c (which requires __eprintf from libgcc.a).

Here are a couple of options:

  * upgrade to gcc 3.0.1 from sunfreeware.com which doesn't have the bug
  * recompile gcc-2.95.x to use binutils rather than native ld

I'm about to release 1.4.2, which will diagnose the bug if you have a
setup that is susceptible, but will still link for you (with a
warning) until you have time to upgrade...

I know.  :-(  Sorry about that.

Cheers,
