What you're looking for is an ABI spec which unfortunately is out of print. However, http://www.sco.com/developer/gabi/ch5.dynamic.html#shobj_dependencies is what I think Ulrich refers to (5-20 if you happen to have a print copy).

Uh, Solaris conforms to the ABI referred to above. Could you repeat why you think otherwise (sorry for my lack of attention earlier).
