Comment:
Why was this patch approved? Why does the -shared option not work on
Solaris? -shared does the following things:
- invoke the linker with -G -dy -z text (the latter only if -mimpure-text
was not given)
- drop crt1.o from the list of objects being linked
- drop -lc from the list of libraries being linked
OTOH, -G is just passed through to the linker.

The things that -shared does are necessary: crt1.o defines _start, and
requires main, so it should not be present in a shared library. Likewise,
-z text should be used to detect position-dependent code at compile time.

Unless some explicit rationale can be given, I think this patch should be
reversed.
