RE: problems building on Solaris

After a hiatus, I'm back trying to get Hugs built for Solaris.  I never had
a reply to the message attached below.  Can anyone help?

One newly noticed bit of puzzlement: configure yields:

/* C compiler invocation use to build a dynamically loadable library.
 * Typical value: "gcc -shared"
 * Must evaluate to a literal C string.
 */
#define MKDLL_CMD "gcc -g   -r"

but I can't find any mention of "-r" for gcc on Sparc.
