      This may break Solaris, among other things.  If you don't use -l to
      specify shared libraries, the path to the library is *hardcoded* as
      being in the build tree.  Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH won't override it.
      This is not acceptable.

   Ummm... gee, that's *wrong*.  Shoot whoever implemented it.

   <sigh>

I've been away from Solaris 2.x for about a year, but I do recall a -R
flag that can specified to the linker.  I don't remember exactly what
it does, but someone with access to Solaris 2.x should check it out
and determine whether it is relevant.
