Whoops.  Seems -Yl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib is a local gcc hack (and not one I
necessarily approve of...).

This is GNOME; you have to be running "GNU/Solaris", not merely Solaris.
(I'm still astonished that they bother making it "portable" when it requires
me to effectively replace every single program on the system with GNU
versions (yes, *some* are broken.  The above is not "something is broken",
it's GRATUITOUS), but for some reason "works if you replace the system with
ours" is considered a valid definition of "portable".
