From what I remember, it can be difficult to build software on Solaris with
mixtures of compiler and linker. It may be the case that you have to use
various compiler and linker flags, eg. -fPIC and one of the -B flags when
building the EasySoap++ installation with the GNU tools.

That would potentially rule out linking errors against libstdc++, then.

Given that you have attempted to use CC (and presumably Sun's ld)
throughout, and still have linking issues, it may be a library search issue
that you're encountering. Which symbols are you missing? One common Solaris
problem is the need to explicitly link against various socket and network
libraries; -lnsl sounds familiar but I can't remember clearly.
