It's not a Samba problem. It is a compiling or linking problem on
your box. You should use the "samba" mailing-list, not this list
for this issue and add more info to your mail:
- which compiler are you using, Sun Workshop / Forte or gcc.
which version of the compiler?
- which linker , Solaris' or GNU "ld"?
- "rm rpc_server/srv_pipe.o" and recompile this file, I don't
think this will fix the problem.
Try the following command, you should get the following output:
# file rpc_server/srv_pipe.o
rpc_server/srv_pipe.o: ELF 32-bit MSB relocatable SPARC Version 1
If you use Solaris "ld", make sure you have the latest patches.
I don't think it's "ld", I would suspect the compiler.
With GCC 2.95.3 using Sun's "ld" I've never had problems compiling
Samba.
