We will follow this up in due course -- it is my colleague who looks
after that side of things, and I've told him about this,
Meanwhile....

About the only thing I have not meddled with is LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
which has been sufficient to the task I think.

I got these results as the first combination which worked:

+ echo /usr/ccs/bin/ld /progs/SUNWspro/bin/cc g++ gmake
/usr/ccs/bin/ld /progs/SUNWspro/bin/cc g++ gmake
+ exit 0

versions: 
ld: Software Generation Utilities - Solaris Link Editors: 5.9-1.375

cc: Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C 5.3 2001/05/15

gcc (GCC) 3.3.2

GNU Make 3.80

This is as a result of this script to try everything exhaustively:

#!/bin/sh -vx
# vim:sw=2

for ld in /usr/ccs/bin/ld /usr/ucb/ld /usr/local/bin/ld
do
   LD=$ld
   export LD
   for cc in gcc /progs/SUNWspro/bin/cc /usr/ucb/cc
   do
     CC=$cc
     export CC
     for cxx in g++ CC
     do
       CXX=$cxx
       export CXX
       for make in gmake make
       do
         MAKE=$make
         export MAKE
         $MAKE distclean
         ./configure &&  $MAKE && echo $LD $CC $CXX $MAKE && exit 0
       done
     done
   done
done

That g++ should work together with cc seems odd to me.  Are there
any tests I can run on this to really thrash it before accepting it
as functioning correctly?  While I'm at it, are there any tests that
it would be useful to the Fox/FXRuby community to do on this system?
