Summary: -static is invalid for Sun's compiler

Initial Comment:
The -static lines for LDFLAGS in the Makefiles for 
xmlwf and examples causes build problems when using 
Sun's purchased compiler (Forte) on a Sun box running 
Solaris 7.  The error really isn't visable but it 
gives the following during a build:

cc -g -I../lib   -c -o unixfilemap.o unixfilemap.c
cc -o xmlwf -static xmlwf.o xmlfile.o codepage.o 
unixfilemap.o -L../lib/.libs -lexpat
cc: -a conflicts with -dy.
make[1]: *** [xmlwf] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving 
directory '/export/home/verity/src/Other/expat-
1.95.2/xmlwf'
make: *** [xmlwf] Error 2

When "-static" is changed to "-B static" everything 
works just fine.

This looks like just the problem I have. Please, can you 
clarify: WHERE do I have to change '-static' to '-B static'?
