This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.

Dear Bug Team!
When building with LDAP support, the '-z ignore' link switch for the
solaris compiler cause the executable to not be able to find symbols
(functions) defined in liblber and/or libresolv. If this flag is NOT
used, everything runs find.
My first recommended sollution is to totaly remove the -z ignore test
from configure.in. If there is some reason to keap it, then I
recommend moveing the test to AFTER the LDAP test and then don't use
if LDAP support is being included.
From the Solaris 8 ld man page:
-z ignore | record
Ignores, or records, dynamic dependencies that are not
referenced as part of the link-edit. By default, -z
record is in effect.
The test is in configure.in at line: 2510
> dnl Link with "-z ignore" on Solaris if supported
> if test "$opsys" = "sol2"; then
> if test "$os_release" -ge 56; then
> AC_MSG_CHECKING(for \"-z ignore\" linker flag)
> case "`ld -h 2>&1`" in
> *-z\ ignore\|record* ) AC_MSG_RESULT(yes)
> XE_PREPEND(-z ignore, ld_switch_site) ;;
> *) AC_MSG_RESULT(no) ;;
> esac
> fi
> fi
As you can see, this is a solaris only issue.
THANKS for all your hard work. Please let me know if I can provided
any additional assistance.
