HI.
    Recently I was building Ethereal on a Sol10/JDS box, its configure script 
probes the presence of GTK+-2.0 with pkg-config; unfortunatly, when it comes to 
"pkg-config gthread-2.0 --libs" in the script, pkg-config outputs "-mt 
-lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0", this causes an issue with /usr/sfw/bin/gcc since -mt 
switch is not for gcc, instead, it's for SunStudio compiler. Is there anyway to 
build against bundled GNOME libraries with /usr/sfw/bin/gcc? Or for 
non-SunStudio users, they have to carry their own GNOME libs?

   Another offtopic problem I ran into when building ethereal agains /usr/sfw 
libraries is that /usr/sfw/bin/net-snmp-config reports a "-R../lib" in its 
ldflags configuration. Isn't that recording a relative path not support by 
ld.so.1? How come the integrated /usr/sfw lib has settings like this? However 
this is a desktop forum, so this is offtopic, hope Sun guy here can propagate 
this issue back into people in charge of SunFreeware integration. 

Regards,
Ivan

p.s. seems there plenty issues around bundled SunFreeware stuffs, making 
building on solaris an excessively arduous task. here is another example:
