Holger,

The problem is that you are using gcc to link instead of g++, so no
C++ support libraries are getting linked in.  On linux I believe linking
in the shared GDAL library would bring the c++ support library with it
but that appears not to be happening in your Solaris build.  Perhaps
static libs ended up being used for some reason?

Try modifying "LD = gcc" to "LD = g++" in the MapServer Makefile.

Best regards,
