Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] How can I remove libgcc.so dependency

["Michael Lum" <mlum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Platform is SPARC/Solaris:

For version 0.9.14 of ethereal I had to manually produce a link
command that would produce an executable that wouldn't SEGV on startup.
I had to remove the crypt libraries, etc. because they would not exist on
some of the machines running ethereal.

I have finally moved to 0.9.16 and with this:

./configure  --disable-usr-local --prefix=/telos/mlum --without-ssl --withou
t-ucd-snmp --with-ethereal --with-plugins=/

I can produce an ethereal executable that links by itself and that
works on my development machine.

However, ldd shows the following:

seti.mlum.2706> ldd ethereal
        libgtk-1.2.so.0 =>       /telos/mlum/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0
        libgdk-1.2.so.0 =>       /telos/mlum/lib/libgdk-1.2.so.0
        libgmodule-1.2.so.0 =>   /telos/mlum/lib/libgmodule-1.2.so.0
        libglib-1.2.so.0 =>      /telos/mlum/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0
        libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
        libXext.so.0 =>  /usr/lib/libXext.so.0
        libX11.so.4 =>   /usr/lib/libX11.so.4
        libsocket.so.1 =>        /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
        libnsl.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
        libm.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libm.so.1
        libz.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libz.so.1
        libgcc.so =>     /usr/local/lib/libgcc.so
        libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        libdga.so.1 =>   /usr/X/lib/libdga.so.1
        libmp.so.2 =>    /usr/lib/libmp.so.2
        /usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-60/lib/libc_psr.so.1

and the production machines do not have 'libgcc.so'.

How can I remove the dependency on libgcc.so, is there a way
to cause ethereal to be linked against libgcc.a instead ?

Thanks for any help.
