The problem is that the detection during configure time uses -Wl,-i…
explicitly as arguments to CC whereas later on libtool is used which transforms
-Wl,-i… to -Qoption ld -i…
Now Sun Studio 12 unfortunately accepts -Wl,-i… but bails out on -Qoption ld
-i…
Newer compiler versions like Solaris Studio 12.3 work consistently on both
variants and fail to compile.
As the name-mangling is gcc-specific I suggest restricting the aliasing to gcc
only. Also the test could be enhanced to use libtool in the same way the
compilation does to test the exact relevant behavior.
