I'm getting an error that's baffling me (I'm not a programmer by trade)
and I hope that someone has seen this before and can help me.

On a Sun Solaris 2.5 box I have set the JPEG & ZLIB parameters in
config.site. I run configure with no errors and run make (Using gcc
2.7.2.1). I get no errors until after libtiff.so is created and the
utilities are starting to be created. Here's a grab of the section
immediately after the ld command for libtiff.so:

= tools
/usr/local/bin/gcc -c -I../libtiff -I../libtiff -g -O -I. -I../tools
-I../libtiff ../tools/fax2tiff.c
/usr/local/bin/gcc -o fax2tiff -g -O -I. -I../tools -I../libtiff
fax2tiff.o -L../libtiff -R/usr/local/lib -ltiff -L../../jpeg -ljpeg  
-lm
ld: warning: file ../libtiff/libtiff.so: section .stabstr: malformed
string table

What I can't figure out is why this error is introduced into the
library. There are no errors in compiling the individual pieces or in
joining these pieces into the library. 
Could some kind soul give a hint with this? Thanks.

	Lee
