[EDG eccp 3.9] build error on the -shared option

• Key: STDCXX-800

Description

Trying to build a shared library with EDG eccp on Linux or Solaris fails with an error like the one below. The EDG front end apparently doesn't understand the -shared option. We need to see if there is an option that works. If not, shared library builds with the compiler cannot be supported (and should be removed from our nightly build schedule on Solaris – on Linux we're already doing only archive builds).

Let's see if we can resolve this in 4.2.2.
