Bruce, see attached message, I think to sum things up:

 1. The patch will not harm Sun compilers which do support -Wl
 2. It will help those who do not
 3. We need to investigate which versions do/don't support the option,
    it seems odd that (my) V4 compiler does not and Denis's V6.2
    doesn't but I imagine Peter Eisentraut's does...

Looking thru the archives for 'Compiling on Solaris with Sun compiler'
should give more background.

Does the patch break Sun compilers which do accept '-Wl'? If it
doesn't it might be worthwhile to apply it so things compile out of
the box for more Sun compilers...

Otherwise it'd be useful to included/mention the patch in the Solaris
FAQ.
