gdk/gtk missing symbols on solaris

[Nicholas Hart <nhart real com>]

Hello,

I've built GTK+ 2.2.4 on Solaris 8 (sparc) using the Forte compiler.  I'm 
not trying to build an application with it and it's failing to link due to 
a ton of missing symbols.  The weird thing is that pkg-config seems to 
produce the correct -l flags and the linker isn't reporting any problems 
finding/loading the libs.  I ran "nm" on the gdk & gtk libs I built and 
every one of the supposedly missing symbols I checked seems to be present 
in the .so files.  (Also, I installed GTK+ in /usr/local/gtk22, added a 
-L/usr/local/gtk22/lib to the LDFLAGS, and added the path to my 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.)

Maybe someone can give me a hint or suggestion for what I can do to further 
debug/deduce what's wrong.  I'd appreciate any help.  Thanks!

The link command looks like this:

CC -xnolib -fast -xtarget=generic -xarch=v8plusa -xO5 -o dbg/hxplay.bin 
dbg/obj/support.o dbg/obj/clipdetails_interface.o dbg/obj/main_interface.o

-lgtk-x11-2.0 -lpthread -Bstatic -lCstd -lCrun -Bdynamic

And a sampling of the missing symbols (there are a couple hundred) look 
like this:
