Help linking ipfilter package.

[Mario Nigrovic; RVVK40]

Folks,

   I'm trying to link ipfilter on Solaris 5.8 and it comes back with a funky
linker error.  I don't know jack about mapfiles, and hence I'm asking for
help!

   Ipfilter tries to link a simple test program (/tmp/conftest.c):

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
printf("%ld\n", (long) sizeof(long));
exit(0);
}

   with the command

gcc -m64 -mcmodel=medlow /tmp/conftest.c -o /tmp/64.out

   which fails with

/usr/lib/ld/sparcv9/map.below4G: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

   Now the file in question seems perfectly innocent, but it's copyright to
sun so I won't post it.  Essentially it's just some comments and the line

text = V0x80000000;

   And so I'm extremely confused as to what the problem is.  Does anybody
have any suggestions?

                                        Mario
