Tim, I have been working on older legacy systems because, as you know,
Blastwave supports people still on Solaris 8 and even sun4m in some really
edge cases. I was able to get libgmp to build and pass all tests on
Solaris 8 with Sun Studio 8 on sun4m.

The exact same code with Studio 11 on Solaris 8 UltraSparc will not
compile with the same environment variables.  Studio 12 is no better.

bizarre but true.

Not sure how you managed to not resolve the location of libgmp however,
what does elfdump foo | grep RPATH say ?  What I have, and this is correct
for the Blastwave world, is this :
$ elfdump lib/sparcv8/libgmp.so.3.4.4 | /usr/xpg4/bin/grep -E "RPATH|RUNPATH"
       [3]  RUNPATH          0x60ea           
/opt/csw/lib/$ISALIST:/opt/csw/lib
       [4]  RPATH            0x60ea           
/opt/csw/lib/$ISALIST:/opt/csw/lib

However the C++ compiler mangled my $ISALIST :

$ elfdump lib/sparcv8/libgmpxx.so.4.0.4 | /usr/xpg4/bin/grep -E
"RPATH|RUNPATH"
       [5]  RUNPATH          0x97b            
/opt/csw/lib:/opt/csw/lib/SALIST:/opt/SUNWspro/lib/rw7:/opt/SUNWspro/lib/stlport4:/opt/SUNWspro/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/lib
       [6]  RPATH            0x97b            
/opt/csw/lib:/opt/csw/lib/SALIST:/opt/SUNWspro/lib/rw7:/opt/SUNWspro/lib/stlport4:/opt/SUNWspro/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/lib

Strangely my $ISALIST was mangled. This looks to be due to a compiler bug
and when I look in the output lib sure enough I see that my RPATH:RUNPATH
has been mangled by the compiler some how.

I have been fighting with both compilers and libgmp for at least a week
now and it is often unclear if I am seeing a bug in the gmp code or in the
Studio compilers.

How are you compiling libgmp? With Studio 12? Are you using the STLport
implementation of the standard library?
