On Solaris you cannot compile git with the Solaris compiler
and linker, as the linker will not put up with the duplicate
definition of these functions.
I told my co-worker who is taking over "that git stuff" from
me at day-job to post a message to the list, or look at the
Solaris manual pages and figure out what he needs to do in
the Makefile to get it to work right. Neither has happened
yet, and those day-job systems are the only Solaris boxen I
touch, so I won't be fixing it anytime soon myself.
I have to wonder why its important we avoid linking to
all of libgit.a here. So what if git-shell is a little
bigger? This is certainly not fully portable, and does
give warnings on some systems.
