>Fix:
The configure script and or make file needs to be fixed for solaris .. it is missing
the Makefile in the gdb directory for linux looks like this .. the elfread.obj is here and gets pulled in when init.c is built.
CONFIG_OBS= $(SUBDIR_CLI_OBS) $(SUBDIR_MI_OBS) elfread.o posix-hdep.o $(SUBDIR_TUI_OBS)
on solaris the CONFIG_OBS line looks like this:
CONFIG_OBS= $(SUBDIR_CLI_OBS) $(SUBDIR_MI_OBS) sol-thread.o posix-hdep.o $(SUBDIR_TUI_OBS)
elfread.o is not present, and never gets pulled into init.c
