> Karel, do you know why this works for you? Do you use the GNU ld or
something?
I'm using Solaris 11 Express here, it provides more modern ld:

}}}
As you can see in my patch I've not tinkered with soname machinery and yet
it works for me. My wild guess is that either ghc is using soname
functionality by using gcc and gcc is used to use --soname or ghc does it
on its own, and then we shall hack ghc to use `-h' instead of `--soname'
on solaris. See my ld's --help output cut:
{{{
$ ld --help 2>&1|ggrep -C 1 soname
create a shared object
[-h name], [--soname name]
use 'name' as internal shared object identifier
}}}
and compare this with Christian 5.10:
{{{
[-h name] use `name' as internal shared object identifier
}}}
Please let me know if I shall attempt to do this or you will do it
yourself. I would done this in configure.ac machinery if done by myself.
