SunOS ettin.lan 5.9 Generic_112233-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2
>Description:
Under Solaris the package "gnome-vfs2" breaks, because it passes the Option "-z defs" to the Sun-Linker, which then searches for all Symbols even in Libraries. 
The Problem is similar to  PR 18780 in curl.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to build the package gnome-vfs2 under Solaris while using the Sun-Linker. (/usr/ccs/bin/ld) 
>Fix:
The fix is to remove the option "-z defs" from the Arguments passed to the Linker. 
For myself I solved the Problem by using find and Perl to replace the String "-z defs" by nothing in all Makefiles. (Dont know, if this breaks with gnu-ld!)
