FVWM: Build with gcc not working

First of all let me say this is a great window manager (don't you
worry when mail notes start off this way :-)

I noticed that between .39 and .42 you moved alot more of the
configuration for build into imake. Since I installed .39, I have
moved to gcc.


I'm compiling for solaris 2.4 on a sparc 20.

What I get is undefined symbols for GetFont OrFixed, CachePicture,
and InitPictureCMap.

All of these are defined in ../libs/libfvwm.a

the compile line has gcc -o fvwm <bunch o ofiles> -O
      -L/usr/openwin/lib -L../libs -lfvwm -lXpm ....

it doesn't seem to be finding the -lfvwm from the search path. If I
hardcode the ../libs/libfvwm.a file in the list of object files it
links without a problem.

What gives? I supposed I could hand edit all the makefiles for all
the modules and make it work, but I must be missing something crucial
here.

Perhaps my site.def and other imake configuration files are messed?
I also have the problem of a -xF flag getting inserted (analyzer code
for sun's compiler). I removed it by hand from the makefile, and it
made no difference.
