A theory was suggested here and that is that the *.so.* files satisfy
runtime dependencies and the *.so files are needed for linking against,
so there might be some in the Linux world know as *-devel package(s) missing.

Sorry I did not go back and read your original email this time...
This is an old privilege property of Solaris making it hard for our
daily builds and tests.

Excellent! That works like a charm.

Nice, but our minimal autoconf version is 2.59 and I can not find the AS_* macros
in that documentation, so it will have to be the old fashion way...
Here it is again reworked with your additions above:

AC_CHECK_LIB(dlpi, dlpi_open)
if test $ac_cv_lib_dlpi_dlpi_open = no; then
   unset -v ac_cv_lib_dlpi_dlpi_open
   dnl Try again now with -L/lib (or ditto 64) as argument to linker since
   dnl gcc makes /usr/ccs/bin/ld ignore the crle configured linker default paths
   dnl typically causing dlpi not being found on Solaris et.al
   save_ldflags="$LDFLAGS"
   try_dlpi_lib=/lib
   if test "x$ac_cv_sizeof_void_p" = "x8"; then
      if test -d /lib64; then
      	 try_dlpi_lib=/lib64
      elif test -d /lib/64; then
      	 try_dlpi_lib=/lib/64
      fi
   fi
   if test ! -f $try_dlpi_lib/libdlpi.so && test -f $try_dlpi_lib/libdlpi.so.1; then
      dnl It looks like there is a missing symlink
      dnl - let's be helpful and notify the user
      dnl NOTE this help is far from perfect e.g if there would be no
      dnl *.so.1 but a *.so.1.123 or *.so.2 this will be no help
      AC_MSG_ERROR(
	[Your OS installation is missing a symbolic link.
	Maybe it lacks some development package(s)...
	It can anyhow be fixed with the following command:
	# ln -s libdlpi.so.1 $try_dlpi_lib/libdlpi.so
	])
   fi
   LDFLAGS="-L$try_dlpi_lib -R$try_dlpi_lib $LDFLAGS"
   unset -v try_dlpi_lib
   AC_MSG_NOTICE([Extending the search to include /lib])
   AC_CHECK_LIB(dlpi, dlpi_open)
   if test $ac_cv_lib_dlpi_dlpi_open = no; then
      LDFLAGS="$save_ldflags"
   fi
   unset -v save_ldflags
fi
