RE: [gentoo-alt] Prefix fails to bootstrap on Solaris 11

[John Helliwell]

Hi Fabian,

This reports

# ldd /lib/libelf.so.1
libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1
libc.so.1 => /lib/libc.so.1

Thanks

John Helliwell

Yup.  It was adventurous, but sticking to the SunOS/Solaris libc is probably the best choice to get something working.

so it appears libelf.so is somehow added into the dependencies, this one needs the deflate symbols if I read your error correctly.  The libelf.so I have depends on libc and libm (according to ldd), what does ldd on your libelf.so report?

Thanks,
Fabian
