Well, I figured this one out, actually -- after roughly eight hours of reading the entire Internet, I discovered that -Wl,-E is required as a ld flag in order to export all the symbols in the main program so that nssock.so can use them. ... Is this obsolete 2.5.1 behavior that Solaris 2.6 has dropped?
BUT now that nssock and everybody loads fine, the server gets as far as the first idle, upon which it dies ignominiously, which event my good friend truss thoughtfully records: 24485: Incurred fault #6, FLTBOUNDS %pc = 0x00AA18A8 24485: siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0x00AA18A8 24485: Received signal #11, SIGSEGV [caught] 24485: siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0x00AA18A8 24485: sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, 0xEF6C36E4, 0x00000000) = 0 24485: sigaction(SIGSEGV, 0xEFFFF140, 0x00000000) = 0 24485: setcontext(0xEFFFF280) 24485: Incurred fault #6, FLTBOUNDS %pc = 0x00AA18A8 24485: siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0x00AA18A8 24485: Received signal #11, SIGSEGV [default] 24485: siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0x00AA18A8 Now -- what I can't figure out -- according to the project home, the AOL team uses Solaris 2.6 as a test environment. The burning question uppermost in my mind (save one) is HOW DIFFERENT COULD IT BE?!?!?!? (The burning question *truly* uppermost in my mind is of course "how can I extract myself from this situation" and I would greatly appreciate any help at all.)
