root@host php-xsl# grep ^LD= `which libtool`
LD="/usr/redact/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/bin/ld"
LD="/usr/redact/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/bin/ld"
LD="/usr/redact/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/bin/ld"
root@host php-xsl# ld -V
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.18
  Supported emulations:
   elf32_sparc
   elf64_sparc
root@host php-xsl# which ld
/usr/redact-not-css/bin/ld

First few non-commented lines:

LIBXML2_1.0.11 {
    global:

# attributes
  xsltApplyAttributeSet;
  xsltFreeAttributeSetsHashes;
  xsltParseStylesheetAttributeSet;

# documents
  xsltFindDocument;
  xsltFreeDocuments;
  xsltFreeStyleDocuments;
  xsltLoadDocument;
  xsltLoadStyleDocument;
  xsltNewDocument;
  xsltNewStyleDocument;
[...]


Could cross-compiling between SUNspro, and then switching to GCC cause
such issues? Would re-compiling libtool be one possible fix?
