Thank you for your constructive comments. They are really phrased
nicely to motivate someone to fix things...
Note that probably none of the core developers are using Solaris on
a regular basis. Last time I built on Solaris, I did have problems,
but not of this kind*. I did use LDFLAGS=-R but only for berkeley db,
openssl, zlib (for neon). I had to do the same for httpd-2.0.
