[v2] patch: non-PIC shared libraries on Solaris

From: Christopher Currie (codemonkey_at_[hidden])
Date: 2004-06-02 09:44:32

Finally, I have enough understanding of the relationship between GCC
and the Solaris linker to submit this. The attached patch will allow
shared libraries to contain non-PIC code on Solaris, which is the
default for GCC on Linux, and for the Sun native compiler.

Ok to commit?
