Patch addendum submitted by Bill Cattey at MIT <wdc@mit.edu>: 

When you build class under Solaris, you need to tell the assembler to generate position independent code.

Although gnu as does just fine generating position independent code for the C compiler so that everything ELSE works, calling it from 
the command line does not allow passing in a PIC flag.

The following patch implements a hard-coded override of the site files if you set gnu env so that the local assembler from Sun will make the
.spp.o code.

Does this seem reasonable?  (I didn't do it, someone else did it, and he said that if he didn't, the build would blow out.)
