That reaction show a missunderstanding, I think. You don't link to
these libraries explicitly, actually you don't have to link to any
library explicitly to get unicode support on Solaris. If you do a
conversion from latin-1 to UTF-16 the library 8859-1%UTF-16.so is
loaded dynamically. The advantage of this is that you don't have to
load conversion routines you don't need, which is particular useful
when it comes to, for example, UTF-8 to zh_CN.iso2022-CN.
