ld: fatal: auxiliary filter option (-f, --auxiliary) is only available when building a shared object
ld: fatal: file M: stat failed: No such file or directory
this is because sun studio uses -xchar=unsigned instead of -funsigned-char
xmpsdk/src/Makefile should be modified to use one of the flags based on compiler, but I wasn't able to come up with a proper patch

ld: fatal: file M: stat failed: No such file or directory
this one is because -MM (in config/config.mk.in) is not present on Sun Studio. The equivalent there is '-xM1'
Updated by Andreas Huggel over 11 years ago
A quick workaround for the problem with -MM is to disable dependency tracking: add a --disable-dependency-tracking option to the ./configure call.

For the issue with -funsigned-char I prefer to fix the (Adobe XMP-SDK) code: change all char types to unsigned char, if that's feasible.
