Oh yuck!

I have Solaris 2.5 boxes at work, so I'll give it a spin on Monday and
see if I can figure out precisely what is going on.  In the mean while
you might try dropping libgen from the interlibrary dependencies of
libopts, and linking it explicitly into binaries that use it.   (You
will need to remove the -no-undefined declaration to support this).

In the long term, I would try and stay clear of libgen, it seems to
have a different purpose on the each of the few hosts that provide it.
IIRC I already supplied fallback implementations for the special
functions you use from there so that it works on Linux, so removing
the dependency is probably pretty easy.

Cheers,
        Gary.
