------- Additional Comments From dhazeghi at yahoo dot com  2003-08-18 17:22 -------
The workaround for problem #1 is to use the (obsolete) --with-headers and --with-libs. Copy all 
headers into one directory, and all libraries into another, and just do --with-headers=/path/to/
includes --with-libs=/path/to/libs.

Using this workaround, I did not encounter your second problem. Admittedly, I'm using sparc-
sun-solaris2.8.

Regarding bug 3, I encountered this, but that was because it turned out that the values-Xa.o in /
path/to/libs was a dangling symlink. After fixing that, I can't reproduce bug #3.

I also did not encounter bug 4. I did hit the problem with libdl.so.1, and am looking into a 
workaround (or fix).

So would it be possible for you to try using --with-libs and --with-headers, and see if they help at 
all? I've opened another bug for the --with-sysroot issue, which looks to be more of a generic 
issue (PR11967), and hopefully our sysroot expert will have either an explanation or a patch.

Thanks,

Dara
