-R is a Solaris linker option that specifies a path string to stick in
the executable.  The operating system uses it to find libraries when
you run it.  The above should be fine.  If you have trouble, try
making a path string something like this:

RPATH = $(LIB_DIR):$(MY_LIBS)

LD_FLAGS = ... -R$(RPATH)
