Solaris AGG Compile...

[Trent Erickson]

The sunfreeware gcc package is compiled with --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld 
so it can be hard to get around it. (you can see this by running g++ -v) 
The sun ld version did not want to compile agg for me. I ended up 
renaming /usr/ccs/bin/ld to /usr/ccs/bin/ld-off   I then put it back 
after the compile. This of course requires root access.

It is not very elegant but it worked. If anyone has any other 
suggestions I'd love to know how to force the proper ld with resorting 
to this. It just plain ignored the makefile and environment settings.
