Oh, no Peter:

denis(at)tracer$ CC -help|grep "\-h"
-h<name> Assign <name> to generated dynamic shared library
-help Same as -xhelp=flags
denis(at)tracer$ CC -help|grep "\-R"
-R<p>[:<p>...] Build runtime search path list into executable
denis(at)tracer$ cc -flags|grep "\-h"
-h <name> Assign <name> to generated dynamic shared library
denis(at)tracer$ cc -flags|grep "\-R"
-R<dir[:dir]> Build runtime search path list into executable

The problem is simple. I can't compile libpq++.so with latest Sun's
compiler:
$ make
.........
CC -KPIC -G -Wl,-h,libpq++.so.3 pgconnection.o pgdatabase.o pgtransdb.o
pgcursordb.o pglobject.o -L../../../src/interfaces/libpq -lpq -lm -lc
-Wl,-R/usr/local/pgsql/lib -o libpq++.so.3.1
CC: Warning: Option -Wl,-h,libpq++.so.3 passed to ld, if ld is invoked,
ignored otherwise
CC: Warning: Option -Wl,-R/usr/local/pgsql/lib passed to ld, if ld is
invoked, ignored otherwise
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: illegal option -- W
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: illegal option -- W
usage: ld [-6:abc:d:e:f:h:il:mo:p:rstu:z:B:D:F:GI:L:M:N:P:Q:R:S:VY:?]
file(s)
[-64] enforce a 64-bit link-edit
.........

But "CC -KPIC -G -h libpq++.so.3 ... -R/usr/local/pgsql/lib ..."
works fine for me.
