[svn-r11439] Purpose:

Bug fix

Description:
Using the -xarch=v9 flag to specify 64-bit compilation breaks C++ shared
libraries.
Disable shared C++ libraries if this flag is used.

Solution:
Instead of trying to disable compilers which recognize the -xarch flag,
grep for it in CXX, CXXFLAGS, etc.

Platforms tested:
modi4, shanti, sleipnir

Misc. update:
Update to RELEASE and build instructions will be forthcoming once
shared Fortran/C++ libraries are regularly passing the Daily Tests.

 dnl ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-dnl Sun WorkShop C++ seems to have trouble with shared libraries in 64-bit
-dnl mode.  This may be related libtool's historical inability to handle the
-dnl -xarch=v9 flag, or the fact that our tests pass this flag as part of
-dnl the CXX variable rather than as a CXXFLAG.
-dnl Avoid the problem by turning off C++ shared libraries when this
-dnl compiler is involved.
+dnl Shared C++ libraries seem not to work on some platforms (modi4, shanti)
+dnl when the -xarch=v9 flag is used to enable 64-bit mode.
+dnl Try to detect the -xarch=v9 flag and disable C++ shared libraries if it's
+dnl being used.
