Wolfgang,

On Solaris, you can build GNU C++ either way; that is, to use shared
libraries or linked libraries.  (In fact you can also build it to enable
both, and select one or the other at link time.)  So, this is certainly
worth checking.  The easiest way to check it is to run "ldd -r" on the
executable.
