Note Solaris can be built using both the GNU and Sun linkers, so one needs
to ensure the right flags for each. The assumption in Sage is that the
first linker in the path is the one used for the compiler. That's not
really very good, but that's how it is.
The GNU linker options -shared and -soname, would need to be changed if
the Sun linker is used on Solaris to -G and -h respectively, but left
unchanged if the GNU linker was used.
The '--as-needed' option can possibly be omitted on Solaris. I'd be a bit
careful of using it on any platform actually. This page
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/asneeded.xml
suggests it can be problematic and is not supported on gentoo.
