Thanks, that's really helpful.

Shouldn't this be i?86-*-solaris2.1[0-9]* since it applies to current
Solaris Express (i.e. i?86-*-solaris2.10.1), too?

Is the --without-gnu-ld --with-ld=... part really necessary?  Unless one
specifies something else, this should be the default.

Besides, it may be useful to add a warning about newer gas versions given
the recent discussion about gas 2.15.9x problems with comdat group support.
