Building on solaris with native linker

[Bryce McKinlay <bryce at albatross dot co dot nz>]

With the following patch to libtool's ltconfig I was able to build a working
libgcj.so using the native solaris 7 x86 linker. Note that my experience
directly contridicts the comment in ltconfig about "gcc -shared" not working
with C++ - its libtool's existing method that doesn't work with C++, "gcc
-shared" works just fine (at least with gcc 2.95 and solaris 7)
