3 tests failed under exotic Solaris while building shared libraries

[Alexandre ROSSI]

Hi,

Here is a problem that a discovered while trying to build a program of 
mine or CppUnit ( http://cppunit.sourceforge.net ) : runnning make fails 
if trying to build a shared library using g++. Running ./configure 
--disable-shared fixes the problem. Using the SunPro compiler also fixes 
the problem (this is ./configure CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC on this box ).
Feel free to ask me any missing information or any tests you like.

Regards,

Alexandre ROSSI

PS: Please find attached to this email the gzipped output of 
tagdemo-conf.test and tagdemo-make.test .
