4.3.0 beta3 compile problem on solaris 10 sparc

Hi,

Solved that problem by using Gnu ld instead.
However I had to do the same trick as in SPARC.
linking /usr/ccs/bin/ld to /usr/local/bin/ld

So, only the Solaris 9 client compile problem left.

Here is the Solaris 10 x86 compile error:

Hi,

That seems like a dirty fix, I relinked /usr/ccs/bin/ld which is as 
dirty.
Wouldn't the proper solution be that if it could find the Gnu ld it 
will use it?
In my case it is in the path but /usr/ccs/bin is not.
Still /usr/ccs/bin/ld is found first and used.
I tried setting LD= but it doesn't help.
As in that statement:
-bash-3.00$ ld -V 2>&1|head -1|cut -d' ' -f1
GNU
-bash-3.00$ ld -V
GNU ld version 2.15
  Supported emulations:
   elf32_sparc
   elf64_sparc
So Makefile.SunOS finds the Gnu linker, but later it is using 
/usr/ccs/bin/ld. Where? and Why?


Another problem:
I'm trying to compile the client on Solaris 9 SPARC and get this error.
gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE 
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DSunOS -I.

-I../include    -c -o misc.o misc.c

Next up is Solaris 10 x86, well see if that works.

I just now noticed that the problem probably isn't with C-ARES, but
with the "--rpath" options that Xymon uses for the linker command.

If you look at the build/Makefile.SunOS file, you'll find the linker
setup there. Xymon tries to figure out if you are using the GNU ld
program:

    LDTYPE := $(shell ld -V 2>&1|head -1|cut -d' ' -f1)
    ifeq ($(LDTYPE),GNU)
       RPATH=-Wl,--rpath,
    else
       RPATH=-Wl,-R
    endif

Try deleting those lines, and see if it helps.
