Hmmm.   I don't think it'll be that easy.    There should be a couple
of libstdc++.a's built for OpenServer, right?   There should be at least
COFF and ELF and maybe a PIC one.    If a PIC one is built with appropriate
options (and Im not certain that there is) then you are probably on the 
right track.

Although, I do have to wonder if we're going to the effort of building
such tings with -fPIC why we're sticking them in a .a instead of a .so.

What we really need to do for OSR5 is to fix --enable-shared.   Strangely,
you're the second person in 48 hours to ask me for this.   Help welcome.
