"Q 3.3: The link fails with a number of "Output line too long." messages
followed by linker errors. 

A: The version of the sed command on your system is incapable of
handling very long lines.  On Solaris, for example, /usr/bin/sed has a
line length limit too low to allow libtool to work; /usr/xpg4/bin/sed
can handle it, as can GNU sed if you have it installed.

On Solaris, changing your command search path to search /usr/xpg4/bin
before /usr/bin should make the problem go away; on any platform on
which you have this problem, installing GNU sed and changing your
command path to search the directory in which it is installed before
searching the directory with the version of sed that came with the OS
should make the problem go away."
