I tried on:

| cheops shapelib-1.2.9 64: uname -a
| SunOS cheops 5.8 Generic_108528-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1

and no serious problem occured.
You should make sure to use the CC=gcc and the correct ld.
For the latter you might try to manually execute:

| ld -G -h libshp.so.1 -o .libs/libshp.so.1.0.1 shpopen.lo shptree.lo dbfopen.lo  -lc

instead of using the makefile-executed version:

| /usr/bin/ld -G -h libshp.so.1 -o .libs/libshp.so.1.0.1 shpopen.lo shptree.lo dbfopen.lo  -lc

Best

	Jan
