Did that, but it did not work either.

Then i went into obj_titan/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/sparcv9/libjava
and invoked by hand
./libtool -prefer-pic --mode=compile
result:
libtool: unrecognized option `-prefer-pic'
Try `libtool --help' for more information.

The problem seems to be a bug in libtool.
The -prefer-pic option is not let through by the $arg checking code.
I added without much thought a
   -prefer-pic)
   ;;
below the case
-dlopen (around line 556)
inside it, and it got further. I hope that will work now.

Thanks,
Martin.
