Solaris 9: Can't build libjpeg shared object for php use

[Phil]

I realize this is the php group, but I have a question that recurses
back to my php install.

My objective is a pure 64 bit shared object installation of php 5.0 on
UltraSparc Solaris 9 compiled with the Sun Compiler version 8.

My problem is that EVERYTHING builds great EXCEPT that the 6b
distribution of JPEG will NOT build a shared object, thus gd cannot
include support for JPEG, thus php loses that functionality.

** Configuration summary for gd 2.0.28:

Support for PNG library: yes
Support for JPEG library: no
Support for Freetype 2.x library: yes
Support for Xpm library: yes
Support for pthreads: yes

Yes, I've seen the install.doc from jpeg-6b:

"* If you want to build libjpeg as a shared library, say
./configure --enable-shared"

Here's that output:

As you can see from line 41 above, configure is convinced libtool
cannot support shared libraries. I modified the configure script to
output the location of the libtool being used (line 25) and the value
of LTSHARED (line 24).

Has ANYONE out there successfully milked out a shared object from the
6b distribution of libjpeg ?? This is the only thing holding up my
build.

Thanks in advance,
Phil
