I suggest that you grab from the web the GNU package "libtool"; with
it, you may create shared (and static) libraries using the same
commands on multiple platforms.  If you need support for Solaris only,
you may get just the documentation, e.g. from my web site: open
http://wwwcdf.pd.infn.it/www/localdoc.html , then look for "libtool".
There you will find a *lot* more information than in the man pages,
and, I think, also the right answer to your question (the PIC stuff
and so on).
