"libgcc_s.so.1: could not read symbols: Invalid operation" compiling kde 2.2.1 on solaris 8

["Keith Leng" <keith at keithleng dot karoo dot co dot uk>]

My compilation of kdelibs-2.2.1 failed while installing kdoctools. It
printed a warning about a missing libgcc_s.so.1 and aborted because of
undefined
references to libiconv_open and libiconv_close. I downloaded and installed
libgcc_s.so.1 from sunfreeware.

Now it is aborting with the message below. /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so does
exist, it is a symlink to libgcc_s.so.1. Running nm against this library
returns a valid list of symbols. I have gcc-2.95.3 installed.

I think the problem maybe that the downloaded library is for 3.0 and I'm
running
2.95.

Any help would be much appreciated.
