illumos gate

I can't, at a glance, work out why relocations remain (never mind why they remain in that object alone).

It'd probably be useful to build with -Wl,-z,textwarn (presuming libtool will pass that through, libtool being involved is never pleasant...), and actually get a look at what the resulting object looks like.

Happily, the resulting object will also work, so you'd have a workaround too.

May be a bit over my head here with libtool:

richard@devzone:/opt/pkg/bin$ libtool --features
host: x86_64-sun-solaris2.11
enable shared libraries
enable static libraries
richard@devzone:/opt/pkg/bin$ grep '[,|}]text' libtool
archive_cmds="\$CC -shared \${wl}-z \${wl}text \${wl}-h \${wl}\$soname -o \$lib \$libobjs \$deplibs \$compiler_flags" 
          \$CC -shared \${wl}-z \${wl}text \${wl}-M \${wl}\$lib.exp \${wl}-h \${wl}\$soname -o \$lib \$libobjs \$deplibs \$compiler_flags~\$RM \$lib.exp" 
archive_cmds="\$CC -shared \${wl}-z \${wl}text \${wl}-h \${wl}\$soname -o \$lib \$libobjs \$deplibs \$compiler_flags" 
          \$CC -shared \${wl}-z \${wl}text \${wl}-M \${wl}\$lib.exp \${wl}-h \${wl}\$soname -o \$lib \$libobjs \$deplibs \$compiler_flags~\$RM \$lib.exp" 
archive_cmds="\$CC -shared \${wl}-z \${wl}text \${wl}-h \${wl}\$soname -o \$lib \$libobjs \$deplibs \$compiler_flags" 
          \$CC -shared \${wl}-z \${wl}text \${wl}-M \${wl}\$lib.exp \${wl}-h \${wl}\$soname -o \$lib \$libobjs \$deplibs \$compiler_flags~\$RM \$lib.exp" 

Tried temporarily modifying directly in libtool these 'text' to 'textwarn', but the linker pukes saying it don't like both -z text and -z textwarn at the same time.

Tried a number of combinations in the makefile and even in the original configure for the solaris* parts (the first two) :

richard@devzone:~/src/pkgsrc/finance/gnucash/work.devzone/gnucash-2.4.11$ grep '[,|}]text' configure.orig 
        archive_cmds='$CC -shared ${wl}-z ${wl}text ${wl}-h ${wl}$soname -o $lib $libobjs $deplibs $compiler_flags'
          $CC -shared ${wl}-z ${wl}text ${wl}-M ${wl}$lib.exp ${wl}-h ${wl}$soname -o $lib $libobjs $deplibs $compiler_flags~$RM $lib.exp'
      no_undefined_flag='${wl}-z,text'
      no_undefined_flag='${wl}-z,text'
      no_undefined_flag_CXX='${wl}-z,text'
        no_undefined_flag_CXX='${wl}-z,text'

thanks anyway.

for information, two other cases of this as noted in the above github issue.
This time with gcc 4.7.2 (and gcc-java) and also with clang.
