err. double negatives... The choice of gcc -shared was done by configure.

actually, the solaris linker ate that. Now whether or not it does the
same thing as gld is another matter.

presumably, it was figured by gcc configure...

just as a query, is there some documentation somewhere that explains
why you need gld? gas is obvious, but it's not clear to me why gld
makes a difference.

funny you should mention this. Just got this from another maillist:

I'm hoping to figure out how to make this use the native tools...

yeah, yeah... now I know better....
