Yes. I can will provide a log.

If I build using the Sun compiler, with the options you suggest, it fails to 
build at all, since the Sun C compiler will not accept C99 code by default. So I 
added the option -xc99=all.

drkirkby at hawk:/tmp/ecl$ echo $CC
cc -xarch=amd64 -KPIC -xc99=all


Unfortunately, ECL fails to build properly with that either - see below. 
However, the library did build, and does not appear to show the text relocation 
problems I got with gcc.
