I hope that the Solaris maintainers will review these patches, and 
decide whether or not they are appropriate at this point.  I don't think 
it would be appropriate for me to review them, but as I've delegated 
responsibility for making those kinds of judgements at this point.

To be clear, this is not particularly to help the Solaris linker.  The 
issue is that other patches on the branch, at Sun's request, keep the 
compiler from searching quite so many directories for libraries.  In 
particular, I think we do not search 32-bit directories for 64-bit 
libraries, and vice versa.  That runs into problems with the base "gcc" 
directory -- but of course we've put the libraries in the right multilib 
subdirs anyhow; we just need to put the links there so that we find the 
links in those directories.

I think this change is actually a good cleanup, in that "libgcc.so" 
links should probably go in the same build subdirectory as the linked to 
files.

Thanks,
