Building MySQL 5.0.22 with gcc 2.95.2 on sparc-sun-solaris2.8

[Troy Loveday]

I'm having problems building MySQL 5.0.22 with gcc 2.95.2 on sparc Solaris 2.8 (SunOS 5.8).

(The binary MySQL distribution for this platform is built with the Sun C compiler, but the Perl I must use for DBI and DBD::mysql is built with gcc. This difference causes problems when trying to build DBD::mysql.)

My configure command is:

CC=gcc CFLAGS="-O3" \
CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O3 -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" \
./configure \
--prefix=/home/troyl/local/mysql \
--enable-assembler \
--with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static \
;

The configure script overrides --with-named-thread if it finds shared libs.
From configure.in:

# Hack for Solaris >= 2.5
# We want both the new and the old interface

if test "$with_named_thread" = "no"
then
AC_MSG_CHECKING("Solaris threads")
if test -f /usr/lib/libpthread.so -a -f /usr/lib/libthread.so
then
with_named_thread="-lpthread -lthread"
AC_MSG_RESULT("yes")
else
AC_MSG_RESULT("no")
fi
fi

Also, MYSQL_EXTRA_LDFLAGS is added to mysql_tzinfo_to_sql_LDADD.
From sql/Makefile.in:

mysql_tzinfo_to_sql_LDADD = @MYSQLD_EXTRA_LDFLAGS@ $(LDADD) $(CXXLDFLAGS)

These two cause the make to fail in the sql/ subdirectory when linking mysql_tzinfo_to_sql because gcc is called with '-static', '-lthread', and '-lpthread':

/bin/bash ../libtool --preserve-dup-deps --tag=CXX --mode=link gcc -DDBUG_OFF -O3 -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -fno-implicit-templates -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DHAVE_CURSES_H -I/home/troyl/local/src/mysql-5.0.22/include -DHAVE_RWLOCK_T -DUSE_PRAGMA_IMPLEMENTATION -o mysql_tzinfo_to_sql mysql_tzinfo_to_sql.o -all-static ../myisam/libmyisam.a ../myisammrg/libmyisammrg.a ../heap/libheap.a ../vio/libvio.a ../mysys/libmysys.a ../dbug/libdbug.a ../regex/libregex.a ../strings/libmystrings.a ../zlib/libz.la -lpthread -lthread -lposix4 -lcrypt -lgen -lsocket -lnsl -lm -lpthread -lthread

Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks for your time.
