Workshop 5.0, Sol 2.7/64-bit: "referenced symbol not found"

Question

One of our customers reports that "some" of their Sol2.7 machines cannot run our 64-bit software (compiled with -xarch=v9).
% a.out
ld.so.1: a.out: fatal: relocation error: file a.out: symbol __1cDstdJbad_allocG__vtbl_: referenced symbol not found
Killed
On the machines where our stuff doesn't run, this message is seen with all of the executables we provide, and even with trivial test programs. The same symbol name is shown every time.
We are using
% CC -V
CC: WorkShop Compilers 5.0 98/12/15 C++ 5.0
and ldd on a test program shows this:
% ldd a.out
libCrun.so.1 => /usr/lib/sparcv9/libCrun.so.1
libm.so.1 => /usr/lib/sparcv9/libm.so.1
libw.so.1 => /usr/lib/sparcv9/libw.so.1
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/sparcv9/libc.so.1
libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/sparcv9/libdl.so.1
/usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-4/lib/sparcv9/libc_psr.so.1
Any ideas? Thanks.

Try a 'ldd -r' on your shared library. My bet is you will receive tons of unresolved symbols. You have to eliminate them all. In my case, -lCrun helped a lot and reduced the number of missing symbols radically. Some were still missing, though, and I was quite sure to take care of those with -lCstd (Note that the manual says that both are included by default...). Didn't help, but I just found a hint that the libC shipped with Solaris might need a patch...
