When compiling gnuemacs distribution 18.55 on a Sparc Station under
Sun OS 4.0.3 we run into the following problem.  We wish to include
support for Sun Windows.  Doing so causes the libraries -lsuntool
and -lsunwindow to be linked in with the -Bstatic option as are all of
the other libraries.  For some reason, ld returns,

	ld: -lsuntool: No such file or directory

when temacs is being built.  There are no files  libsuntool.a or
libsunview.a in /usr/lib.  Does anyone have any suggestions for
how to work around this problem?  We tried linking in the two libraries
dynamically, but temacs gives a core dump upon execution.

Thanks for your help.
