Summary: -static is invalid for Sun's compiler

Initial Comment:
The -static lines for LDFLAGS in the Makefiles for 
xmlwf and examples causes build problems when using 
Sun's purchased compiler (Forte) on a Sun box running 
Solaris 7.  The error really isn't visable but it 
gives the following during a build:

cc -g -I../lib   -c -o unixfilemap.o unixfilemap.c
cc -o xmlwf -static xmlwf.o xmlfile.o codepage.o 
unixfilemap.o -L../lib/.libs -lexpat
cc: -a conflicts with -dy.
make[1]: *** [xmlwf] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving 
directory '/export/home/verity/src/Other/expat-
1.95.2/xmlwf'
make: *** [xmlwf] Error 2

When "-static" is changed to "-B static" everything 
works just fine.

We're now using libtool to perform this link. No more
-static flag, as we assume libtool will figure it out for
us. The libtool configure-time flags such as
--disable-shared can control whether static or shared stuff
is built.

Closing as fixed in the upcoming release.

For OS X, -static has to be dropped, too, see http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=110127&aid=445955&group_id=10127

This should be fixed by a check in configure.in I'd say.

Oh - I see it now: expat-1.95.2/xmlwf/Makefile

This looks like just the problem I have. Please, can you 
clarify: WHERE do I have to change '-static' to '-B static'?
