This is not really surprising. I never set LIBS anywhere when I
built on the Solaris machines. LDOPTX I only ever provided directly
to the make command.

e.g.:

$ psmake/smake LDOPTX=-L/usr/local/lib\ -Wl,-R/usr/local/lib\ -liconv 

For more details about options you can give make see the README.compile.
