Problems with gcc3+ on Solaris 5.9

[Michael gatford <support at aprsmartlogik dot com>]

Hi,

I have a C++ cgi search application (semaphoreserver) that links against 
a static library, that I build. The source code for this static library 
consists of some C++ code (.cc extension) and some C files (.c) 
extension. When I initially compiled the static library I got an error 
relating to gxx_personality_v0. I managed to overcome this by linking 
with -lstdc++.

However, when I run the cgi program the webserver logs report the error

ld.so.1: /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/semaphoreserver: fatal: 
libstdc++.so.5: open failed: No such file or directory

The webserver runs as user nobody and has no environment. I can overcome 
this problem by using the Apache SetEnv directive in httpd.conf to set 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. However, I cannot guarantee that all webservers the 
application runs on will either be configured this way, or even that the 
shared library libstdc++.so.* will exist on the machine.

Two questions, therefore.

1) Can I overcome the initial error (gxx_personality...) in another way 
(e.g. is there a compiler flag I can set) so that I don't have to link 
against the shared library libstdc++.so.

2) If the answer to (1) is no (or even if it's yes), is there a way in 
which I can link against a shared library so that it is in fact 
statically linked and thus not need at runtime?

Thanks in advance.

Mike
