$ 


If you wonder why the "option -Q appears more than once" warnings then that is
due to :

$ echo $LD_OPTIONS
-Qy -L/usr/local/lib


Harmless as it simply adds a line in the .comment section of the ELF output and
from manpage we see :

     -Q y | n


         Under -Q y, an ident string is  added  to  the  .comment
         section  of  the output file. This string identifies the
         version of the ld used to create the file. This  results
         in  multiple  ld  idents  when  there have been multiple
         linking steps, such as when using ld -r. This  identifi-
         cation  is  identical  with the default action of the cc
         command. -Q n suppresses version  identification.  .com-
         ment sections can be manipulated by the mcs(1) utility.


Thus in the Solaris world we get helpful data like this :

$ mcs -p pcre_stringpiece.o

The linkage failure for libpcrecpp.la seems to be caused by this bizarre bit in
the Makefile :

EXTRA_LIBPCRE16_LDFLAGS =                          -version-info 0:1:0
EXTRA_LIBPCRECPP_LDFLAGS =  -Wl,-i__ZN7pcrecpp6no_argE:__ZN7pcrecpp2RE6no_argE 
                          -version-info 0:0:
0
EXTRA_LIBPCREPOSIX_LDFLAGS =                               -version-info 0:1:0
EXTRA_LIBPCRE_LDFLAGS =                          -version-info 1:1:0


whatever that is, it looks horrific.

Cleaning out all the whitespace I get :

EXTRA_LIBPCRE16_LDFLAGS = -version-info 0:1:0
EXTRA_LIBPCRECPP_LDFLAGS = -Wl,-i__ZN7pcrecpp6no_argE:__ZN7pcrecpp2RE6no_argE
-version-info 0:0:0                           
EXTRA_LIBPCREPOSIX_LDFLAGS = -version-info 0:1:0
EXTRA_LIBPCRE_LDFLAGS = -version-info 1:1:0



It looks as if we are trying ot pass the ( mildly scary )
argument '-i__ZN7pcrecpp6no_argE:__ZN7pcrecpp2RE6no_argE' to the link
editor ld.

The first problem here is that the option -i does not mean very much to
the Solaris linker ld. The other issue is that even on GNU Linux the
-i option not be what we want.

I am going to make a guess and hope that what we are trying to do is set
the name ofthe entry point in the ELF executable or shared object to
either _ZN7pcrecpp6no_argE or maybe _ZN7pcrecpp2RE6no_argE ? I was
hoping for "_init" but who knows.

Now then what is this "-version-info " noise? That looks to be something
for libtool.

I would say that somehow the pcre makefile has junmped the shark out of
the POSIX UNIX waters and into GNU Linux land and on Solaris that simply
will not fly.
