Ok, another try on the same machine setup but with the new package
incorporating your autoconf fixes:  hugs98-ffi-09072002b.
Now I get the same results as Sven does under Solaris 2.7.

> uname -a

SunOS doozer 5.6 Generic_105181-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

> gcc -v

Reading specs from /york/pkg/gcc-2.95.2/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.5/2.95.2/specs
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)

> ./configure --prefix=/tmp/test

Seems ok - here are the highlights regarding dynamic linking:

checking for function_dlopen... no
checking for library_dl... yes
checking for function_shl_load... no
checking for library_dld... no
...
checking if '/LD' builds loadable libraries... 
checking if '-shared' builds loadable libraries... 
checking if '-bundle' builds loadable libraries... 
checking if '-bundle -lc' builds loadable libraries... 
checking if '-shared -nostdlib' builds loadable libraries... 
checking if '-r' builds loadable libraries... -r
checking if '-rdynamic' builds loadable libraries... (cached) -r
checking if '-G' builds loadable libraries... (cached) -r
checking if '-Aa +z' builds loadable libraries... (cached) -r

OK
