Apparently, it's a new sanity check of Sun ld in Solaris 8 that breaks
perfectly valid link commands :-(

It seems to verify that a library explicitly named in the command
line, when searched in the given -L flags, would result in a different
library being found.

Gerry, could you please test whether the same link command, with the
additional flags `-L../boehm-gc/.libs -L../zlib/.libs -L./.libs'
before any other -L flags, would succeed?
