I apologize if you see this multiple times.  I have reposted it because it
looks like the article has not been getting out.  No flames, please.

I am dealing with a body of code written in ANSI C and I need to generate
an executable which will use Sun shared libraries.

The tools I have available to me are the Sun C compiler, loader, etc. and the
GNU C compiler, loader, etc.

So far, the code has been compiled with the GNU C compiler.
As far as I know, Sun's cc doesn't handle ANSI C.  So what are my options?
Does the GNU loader handle Sun shared libraries?  If not, can I compile
with gcc and link with Sun's ld?  Does gcc support Sun's idea of PIC code?

Any help would be appreciated.  If you have any answers wrt gcc, please specify
which version you are referring to.  Any suggestions?
