The first problem is that on solaris, one has to compile with -fPIC if 
the object file will ever be used in shared libraries. I added that in 
manually for the tests but some logic is required in gcc.jam.

After that we have:

- searched_lib: "...attempted multiple inclusions...", just like other 
tests.

- tag: the profile/static build never finishes. TestCmd.py is stuck at 
line 435:
self._stdout.append(p.fromchild.read())

- library_chain: FAILED:
ld: warning: file a.so: required by b/bin/gcc/debug/b.so, not found
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
geek() b/bin/gcc/debug/b.so

- conditionals: GNU ar version 2.11.2 creates invalid empty object. 
Should work with recent versions but I can't test. It works with Sun's ar.

Best,
