As a counter-point, I've been using SPARC Solaris 2.8 and 2.9 for
years with Tcl 8.5, and doing nothing special, have no problem
building standard Tcl extensions that when installed can be loaded.

The main symbol referenced is peculiar - that is what one codes in a
mainline C application. There shouldn't be references in an extension
to that.

Could it be that the .so files that you are creating are missing some
sort of flag that indicates they are an extension?

Are you using the latest Tcl Extension Architecture (see for example
the sample extension available at tcl.sf.net) layout, etc. to build
your extensions?
