After building and installing libao, libogg, libvorbis, a couple of
other libraries, and xmms, I got it running with a complaint that
vorbisfile.so had an unresolved reference to "__floatdidf".

All searches for __floatdidf indicated that this is a known problem with
using Solaris' native linker (/usr/ccs/bin/ld) with the GCC compiler.
(It does not reference the 'gcc' library.) Attempts to use the GNU
linker resulted in other problems.

The solution was to hack the Makefile in the lib directory to link in
the static 'gcc' library during the building of the vorbis libraries.

Here are the steps I used.

1) Extracted, configured, built and installed libao.
2) Extracted, configured, built and installed libogg.
3) Extracted and configured libvorbis.
4) Ran "gcc -print-libgcc-file-name"
5) Modified the LIBS= line of lib/Makefile to include
"-L<directory_of_libgcc>  -lgcc"
6) Built and installed libvorbis.

and the completed the rest as usual.

My environment is:

Sun Microsystems Solaris 2.6
Gnu gcc 3.2
Gnu make 3.79.1
linker (ld) and assembler (as) from /usr/ccs/bin
