You have a font issue. We do not have an "Id" tool, we have
an "ld" tool.

I for Inquiry
L for Linker

/usr/bin/ld is the Solaris linker.
/usr/gnu/bin/ld is the GNU linker.


To resolve this problem when building LibreOffice you should
set an environment variable LD as follows:


$ LD=/usr/gnu/bin/ld ; export LD
