I had this problem, too. It is a little bit weired. The reason is
that you have explicitely chosen to build a dynamic executable while
some of the modules/library are only available as static modules (or
ar to be inluded statically). Your error messages indicate that this
is libstdc++.a You should be ensure that libstdc++.so is used.
Unfortunately, depending on your Solaris (and gcc) installation the
problematic modules may be others. On my machine, e.g., the problem
was produced by a 4-byte module from a licensing library! In any
case, you should figure out exactly which libraries are included
(using g++ -v).

Hope that helps.
