Compiling Cyrus-SASL GIT master on Solaris 11.3

Hi everybody,

I am trying to compile the HEAD of the Cyrus-SASL github repository on a Solaris 11.3 x86_64 machine using the Oracle Developer Studio 12.5.

However, it ends when it tries to link the libsasl2.so complaining that a libobj.a is missing:

There is indeed only a libobj.la, but no libobj.a. The same behavior can be observed on a Solaris 11.3 sparc.

The autoconf stuff had been generated on a Linux box using autoconf 2.69.

However, the same sources do compile on various Linuxes as well as AIX 7.1 and even HP-UX 11iv3 using their native compilers.

Has this been observed before? Does anyone have an idea for a solution or workaround?

I thought I ask before opening a ticket …

Thanks!
