Solaris (openindiana) compile issue

[mikesplain]

Hello,

I've been trying to build libv8 on an openindiana box and continuously failing. It seems like it's failing at ld but ld is absolutely in the path...

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

It looks like the problem is not that it can't find ld, but that it does not recognize the -n option:

ld: fatal: unrecognized option '-n'

This is a problem with the V8 gyp build itself, and not the libv8 gem. I'm not sure what we can do, but if you patch the v8 build we can include it with the gem
