Description
While testing Peter's fix for #1347, I found that static linking is totally broken on Solaris.
In particular, our linking tests fail on both Solaris 10 and 11 (gcc, i386 -- I haven't tried with any other compiler or architecture), albeit with slightly different error messages. The underlying issue might be the same, however, since they both fail in the same situations.
Note that this problem isn't caused by the fix for #1347; both c4c60ce5 and 4.12.0 fail in the same way, so this was a preexisting bug.
Try running the following command to see the problem:
$ echo '(print 1)' | csc -static -o /tmp/a.out -

I asked on #openindiana and people there confirmed that indeed, static system libraries are not available.

TODO: Check how Golang deals with this. They support Solaris since version 1.3
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
It looks like static linking against system libraries simply isn't supported on Solaris...
Maybe we need to do something with
LIBRARIESso that we know which ones need to be put in front of an (optional)-staticflag, so that they are linked dynamically? Alternatively, disable static linking altogether on Solaris...
