This is with the sunpro cc is it?  We've had joy on solaris 7, but I'm
not sure we've tried solaris 8.

The command produced by libtool should be something like

        /usr/ccs/bin/ld -G -h libgmp.so.3 -o .libs/libgmp.so.3.3.0
            .libs/assert.o ... -lc

I think ld is supposed to go into 64-bit mode when it sees the first
object is 64-bits.  Is that still the case?  Does the ld man page say
anything about this?

If you just want to get something running you might like to configure
with --disable-shared to use only the static library.
