8.31 is quite old now. Have you tried 8.32, 8.33, or the recently
released 8.34? The only mentions of Solaris in the ChangeLog don't seem
to relate to this issue, however.
It sounds as if this might be a problem with libtool and/or autoconf,
but I am not an expert in those. I have no idea if it is possible to do
what you suggest and alter libtool's behaviour in a particular
environment.
