Attachment: patch

Firefox could not build correctly with NO_LD_ARCHIVE_FLAGS=1 now.

On Solaris we didn't set MKSHLIB_UNFORCE_ALL caused NO_LD_ARCHIVE_FLAGS is set.

FYI: manpage of ld on Solaris

     -z allextract | defaultextract | weakextract

         Alters the  extraction  criteria  of  objects  from  any
         archives  that  follow.  By default, archive members are
         extracted to satisfy undefined references and to promote
         tentative definitions with data definitions. Weak symbol
         references do not trigger extraction.  Under  -z  allex-
         tract,  all  archive  members  are  extracted  from  the
         archive. Under -z weakextract, weak  references  trigger
         archive  extraction.  -z defaultextract provides a means
         of returning to the default following use of the  former
         extract options.
