Don't know much about solaris, but I woud have done what you're trying to 
do as:
g++ -fPIC -c -I/usr/java1.2/include -I/usr/java1.2/include/solaris 
-I/space/otherlibs/libs service_wrap.cxx
g++ -fPIC -shared -o libservice_wrap.so service_wrap.o functionslib.o

(note that functionslib.o has to be compiled with -fPIC, I guess)

This may help, or it may not :-(
