[OpenIndiana-discuss] "strange" linking error

[Richard Lowe]

This looks a lot like: https://www.illumos.org/issues/3436  I have no
idea whether that fix is in OpenIndiana.  One workaround is to stop
using ld -r.

I have no idea what your build process is doing though, because it
appears to believe it's building an archive library, but is using ld
-r, so is actually building a relocatable object with a name ending
'.a'.  Someone, somewhere, is very confused...
