+ * Ezstream and SunPRO cc/c99 on Solaris:
+
+   Ezstream may not build with SunPRO cc/c99 "out of the box" if a threaded
+   libshout was built with gcc. This known issue results in the following error
+   message from the linker:
+
+     ld: fatal: option -h and building a dynamic executable are incompatible
+
+   This is related to gcc and GNU ld using different compiler/linker flags,
+   related to POSIX threads, than the SunPRO compilers. These are being passed
+   on to ezstream, where cc or c99 ultimately chokes on them.
+
+   Ezstream compiles with both cc/c99 and gcc if libshout was built with Sun's
+   compiler. If libshout was built with gcc, compile ezstream with gcc as well.
