I got a problem report for Nettle on Solaris x86_64. Apparantly, crt1.o got included into libnettle.so, which makes no sense.

One suggestion is to add -nostartfiles to the linker command, which could be done generally, not only for Solaris. Is that a good idea? Do non-gcc compilers recognise -nostartfiles?

We currently pass -G on solaris, -dynamiclib on darwin/macos, and -shared everywhere else. I'd expect those flags to imply -nostartfiles, but I don't really know how that works.
