global symbol `_END_' has non-global binding

Hi all -- We've been using packages from SunFreeware on our sol10 x86 boxes 
for a very long time now. We use the Sun Studio compilers to compile our own 
C++ code and here a while back, maybe a month or two ago, we started getting 
the following errors while linking:

ld: warning: global symbol `_END_' has non-global binding:
        (file /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so value=LOCL);
ld: warning: global symbol `_START_' has non-global binding:
        (file /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so value=LOCL);
ld: warning: global symbol `_END_' has non-global binding:
        (file /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.so value=LOCL);
ld: warning: global symbol `_START_' has non-global binding:
        (file /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.so value=LOCL);
ld: warning: global symbol `_END_' has non-global binding:
        (file /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so value=LOCL);
ld: warning: global symbol `_START_' has non-global binding:
        (file /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so value=LOCL);

This happens for libiconv and a few other libs as well. All this does not seem 
to cause a problem, the applications still work fine. Still, it's worrying. I 
hit up Steve at SunFreeware and he's not seen this before, either.

Clearly this isn't an emergency or anything, but does anyone have a suggestion 
as to how to quell the warnings? Or better yet, solve them?

Thanks!
