Yes, patching binutils-2.15 as described in INSTALL/specific.html
(oops) does seem to fix my link-time issues with Solaris. I won't ask
why this wasn't enough to warrant a binutils-2.15.1 :)
Thanks!

Heh :) Ok, I'll do the same with that. Is there a branch already, or
do I just use the mainline?
I've given on up (almost all) native Solaris builds; it just takes way
too much time on the boxes I have, but I can cross-compile all my
stuff (instead of the test suite) and at least give that level of
comfort, which admittedly is not as useful. Hmmm, I wonder if the
testsuite can be tweaked so I can do the compile steps on one box and
ssh to a box with the same filesystem mounted for the run steps :)
