Error building ace in solaris and linux - linux

Question

I have issues building ace 5.3 in linux. I get the following error.
g++ -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith -pipe -O3 -g -Wno-uninitialized -fno-implicit-templates -DACE_HAS_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_INSTANTIATION -D_POSIX_THREADS -D_POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS -D_REENTRANT -I/home/vwickram/Ubuntu_Release/tmp/ACE_wrappers -DACE_HAS_EXCEPTIONS -L/home/vwickram/Ubuntu_Release/tmp/ACE_wrappers/ace -L./ -o gperf .obj/gperf.o .obj/Options.o .obj/Iterator.o .obj/Gen_Perf.o .obj/Key_List.o .obj/List_Node.o .obj/Hash_Table.o .obj/Bool_Array.o .obj/Vectors.o .obj/Version.o -lACE -ldl -lpthread

When I googled I found out it is a bug in ace5.3 and it is fixed in later versions. So I got the ace 6.3 version and managed to build in linux. However, ace 6.3 wouldn't build in SolarisX86 with sunstudio 11 compiler. I get the following.
ACE::Monitor_Control::Monitor_Point_Registry*ACE_Singleton<ACE::Monitor_Control::Monitor_Point_Registry,ACE_Thread_Mutex>::instance() /home/vwickram/Ubuntu_Release/ace6.3/tmp/ACE_wrappers/lib/libACE.so
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to ace_gperf

gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/vwickram/Ubuntu_Release/ace6.3/tmp/ACE_wrappers/apps/gperf/src'
gmake: *** [gperf] Error 2
Could someone help please? I would still prefer using ace 5.3 version and use a patch to fix the bug and make it build on linux.

I faced a similar issue on ubuntu 14.04 for Ace 5.5.
I checked the whole console log and it couldnt find librt.so in /usr/lib and librt.so.1 in /lib/
I searched for these and found them in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so and /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1
I copied them to respected folders and then it worked fine without any errors.
On i386 librt is found in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/librt.so

Install the asynchronous library.
For example in Fedora-linux it'll be libaio-devel. (Mostly not needed, but some issues may occur if not installed)
After Installing compile with the following flags.
cc file.c -lrt
-lrt - link (lrt)read time library.
