Ron Guilmette has written a series of patches that allows the creation
of a shared library with g++ 2.4.5 under SysVr4 and Solaris. I have
used a patched compiler to successfully create shared libs for libg++.

Unfortunately, the patches were not included in the new 2.5.x
compiler, possibly because of a disagreement of Cygnus and rfg on "the
proper way" to implement this feature. Ron indicated in a mail to me
that he is currently not working on GNU stuff and will not update the
patches for gcc 2.5.3. 

So, instead of starting from scratch, his patches are probably a good
starting point to create support for shared libs.
