neon 0.29.2 svn link error on solaris 10 x86

[Kevin Radke]

Getting the following errors when trying to link statically compiled
libraries into a "mostly static" subversion 1.6.7 build:
(I realize 1.6.7 is not released yet, but the same error occurs with 1.6.6)

Text relocation remains                         referenced

Platform: Solaris 10 x86
GCC: 3.4.3
CFLAGS: -fPIC -DPIC -O3 -march=opteron
neon configure options:
          ./configure --prefix=$(NEON_ROOT) \
                      --enable-static \
                      --disable-shared \
                      --with-pic \

                      --with-expat \
                      --without-pakchois;

Problem does not occur when linking with neon 0.28.6.  Removing the
NE_PRIVATE definition for gcc > 3 in ne_defs.h
seems to also fix the problem.

I realize this is a very odd build scenario, but it did work fine with
older neon versions...

Thanks!
