Summary: expat 1.95.2 / Sun WorkShop 5.0

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I'm building expat 1.95.2 on Solaris 7 with Sun
WorkShop 5.0.

I configure using:

setenv CC cc
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/expat-1.95.2

While installing I get this error:

gmake[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/expat-1.95.2/xmlwf'
cc -o xmlwf -static xmlwf.o xmlfile.o codepage.o
unixfilemap.o -L../lib/.libs -lexpat
cc: -a conflicts with -dy.
gmake[1]: *** [xmlwf] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/expat-1.95.2/xmlwf'
gmake: *** [install] Error 2

This is because the Sun compiler needs a "-Bstatic"
option to link statically, not "-static". The problem
is that this is hard-coded in xmlwf/Makefile.in:

LDFLAGS= @LDFLAGS@ -static

I'm sure libtool or autoconf can handle this - although
I don't know how...
