OK, that's a useful datapoint.

Sure.  I think the problem likely is that the stock "ld" on Solaris only
copes with C object files and not C++ object files.  This only shows up
for libpq++ because we have no other C++ code in the distribution.

However, as far as I can tell from a quick scan through the CVS server,
6.4.* should've tried to use "ld" for libpq++ too.  Could you rebuild
6.4.2 and see what the difference is in the build commands it uses?
