Solaris ISTR has an interesting 'feature' of its linker whereby, symbols
are only resolved in libraries from files /before/ it in the command
line. So one has to be careful of the order, ensuring that required
libraries, sucha as Xlib etc, are included in the command line before
the libraries that need them.
