Hi Nick,

The problem only happens with that one huge shared library, so, no I
do not have a small test case, saddly enough, and even if you were
interested in rebuilding that huge source tree to reproduce the bug,
we would probably both be dead before we figure out who needs to sign
what NDA...

I got things to work after rebuilding the whole toolchain with the gnu
ld instead of the solaris ld, so it sounds like this might be a
solaris ld issue. The mangled entry points for those heavily templated
classes probably have long names and i seem to remember the solaris ld
had issues with that.

I can not jump to newer gcc yet, because we use jace to build proxy
objects between c++ and java, and jace was not building with gcc 4
last time i tried.....

Do you think I should file a bug with sun about this? Are there any
known issues with sun's ld?

Thanks for your help,

Laurent
