Re: compiling libpq++ on Solaris with Sun SPRO6U2 (fixed

It's really quite simple, the Sun C compiler (acc) does not understand
the -Wl flag, rather it passes the -R and -h options onto the linker
verbatim.

Given the only two (realistic) compiler choices under Solaris are gcc
and acc it makes sense to support then both 'out of the box'.

I keep a similar patch to Denis's (without the wierd hi-ascii
characters in his) lying around for when i build a Solaris version.
