Bug #584: postgresql will not build on Solaris with cc

Andre Blanchard (andre(at)synchronicity(dot)com) reports a bug with a severity of 1
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
postgresql will not build on Solaris with cc

Long Description
This is the input to build on Solaris

OS Version 5.6 5.7 5.8 (same results)
Ansi C Compiler version cc -V = 4.0, or 5.1 (same results)

I have many arguments to configure, however I believe the relevant one to this bug is the choice of compiler (aka cc vs gcc)

gcc configures and will build fine.

cc will fail with the following error

ranlib libpsqlodbc.a
cc -Xa -G -h libpsqlodbc.so.0 -Wl,-Bsymbolic info.o bind.o columninfo.o connection.o convert.o drvconn.o environ.o execute.o lobj.o md5.o misc.o options.o pgtypes.o psqlodbc.o qresult.o results.o socket.o parse.o statement.o tuple.o tuplelist.o dlg_specific.o odbcapi.o multibyte.o gpps.o -L/home/andre/build/relbf1/sbin/SunOS_56_CC_41 -lnsl -lsocket -lm -R/home/andre/build/relbf1/sbin/SunOS_56_CC_41 -o libpsqlodbc.so.0.27
ld: fatal: symbol `_fini' is multiply defined:
(file /opt/SUNWspro/SC4.0/lib/crti.o and file psqlodbc.o);
ld: fatal: symbol `_init' is multiply defined:
(file /opt/SUNWspro/SC4.0/lib/crti.o and file psqlodbc.o);
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to libpsqlodbc.so.0.27
make[3]: *** [libpsqlodbc.so.0.27] Error 1

I would receive this on the first library build, which I corrected with with the following options CFLAGS options to configure

-z muldefs

aka inform the link editor to process code with multiply defined symbols. This will allow the build to proceed further but it eventually halts at the point indicated in the output above

Sample Code
I am providing my complete script for completeness.
