Trying to build omniORB-3.0.1 under Solaris-2.6/gcc-2.95.2, I'm
encountering a slew of error messages at the linking stage for
libCOS3.so.0.1, typified by

==============================
+ g++ -shared -Wl,-h,libCOS3.so.0 -o shared/libCOS3.so.0.1 -L../../../lib/sun4_sosV_5.6 shared/TimeBaseSK.o shared/CosTimeSK.o shared/CosEventCommSK.o shared/CosEventChannelAdminSK.o shared/CosTypedEventCommSK.o shared/CosTypedEventChannelAdminSK.o shared/CosTimerEventSK.o shared/CosNotificationSK.o shared/CosNotifyCommSK.o shared/CosNotifyFilterSK.o shared/CosNotifyChannelAdminSK.o shared/CosTypedNotifyCommSK.o shared/CosTypedNotifyChannelAdminSK.o shared/AttNotifyChannelAdminSK.o shared/CosLifeCycleSK.o -lomniORB3 -lomniDynamic3 -ltcpwrapGK -lomnithread -lpthread -lposix4 -lsocket -lnsl

ld: fatal: relocations remain against allocatable but non-writable sections
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [shared/libCOS3.so.0.1] Error 1
make[1]: *** [export] Error 2
make: *** [export] Error 2
==============================

To my (untrained) eye, this looks suspiciously like a PIC issue (note
that a libomniDynamic3.so library was *not* built, nor was -fPIC
passed as a command line switch when building the modules for
libomniDynamic3.a).

Is there some configuration step I've missed? If it helps any, I've
attached a unified diff against the distributed
mk/platforms/sun4_sosV_5.6.mk that I use as a patch for this machine.

I had no problem building omniORB-3.0.0 using this OS/compiler
combination in the past.
