LDFLAGS is not propagated into the gm2 Makefiles.   On Solaris, libpth 
depends on some
other libraries, so I defined LDFLAGS="-lnsl -lsocket -lpthread -lrt 
-L/lib".  This propagates
into the gcc Makefiles but not the gm2 ones.  (I manually added "-lnsl 
-lsocket -lpthread -lrt -L/lib"
after each entry "-lpth" in gm2/Make-lang.in.)

Sincerely,
john
