You could also just apply the st patches for solaris 8.  It doesn't
populate st.conf, but it should add LTO support into the driver itself.

  Here are the lines you

Beware, you're using version 2 strings on those last two lines.  I'm not
aware that Solaris 8 supports version 2 st strings.  I suppose it might
with some of the st patches, though.
