I will through in my two cents worth on this and you can take it for
what it's worth.

I have compiled the above (glib-1.2.3) on both a Solaris 2.4 and
Solaris 2.6 system.  Solaris 2.4 is running on a Sparc 5 and Solaris
2.6 is running on a Sparc 20.  I don't seem to remember having
any such problem.

On both systems, I have gcc version 2.8.1.  I have also not installed
libtool to the best of my knowledge.

If you would like me to try and compile glib-1.2.3 for you, I would
be glad to try.
