It seems that the 'config/Configure' script is incorrectly guessing 
which kind of shared library to build for OpenSSL 0.9.6b on Solaris8. 
 When 'config threads shared' is invoked, the 'Makefile' created has the 
variable "SHLIB_TARGET" set to "gnu-shared" when it should be set to 
"solaris-shared".  This causes incorrect linker options to be set, 
because it thinks it is using GNU 'ld' instead of the Solaris 'ld'.  The 
easy fix is to run './config threads shared' and then edit the 
'Makefile' and change the variable from "gnu-shared" to 
"solaris-shared".  Everything else should build correctly.
