I have .a and .so files in $prefix/TARGET/lib and egcs only seems to want
to link in .a files. 

Oops, my mistake, I'll post the problem and solution here in case someone
else makes it though.

I don't have access to a sparc running solaris7 so I grabbed the
headers/libraries from a solaris installation cd. Unfortunately they come
in some sort of pacakge format so I found the archives within the format
and just unzipped them. I thus missed sym links from library.so.1 to
library.so, thus the linker couldn't find the libraries.

So anyone else wanting to do this take note.

Thanks for the help though, because of your post I recompile under linux
(which is way faster) and I'm much happier now.
