Here's what I did.  I don't think it's "right" yet, you still have
to do some kind of install (move lib.so to something useful):

Made changes to Sun.macros:

******  AR command will create both a static and dynamic library.
******  This is really gross.  I don't really recommend it; it's just
******  a quick way to avoid changing Imake rules.
