Yeah, this is one of the things that should go away with libtoolizing
the library.  With - or -- it still won't work under Solaris (at least
using the native linker).

But...

This was originally copy'n'pasted from earlier in the file where the
compiler is actually called, and 'echo' added.  (I deduce.)  But echo
writes to stdout, not stderr, so this will not show up in the log file,
and is displayed to the screen instead.

Even if the call were written to the logfile, it would still /follow/
the error messages, which is just confusing.

I fixed this up in my local version; which I might check in soon.
(It's not libtoolized yet, but it's Cleaner and Better[tm].)
