building on solaris and linker problems

[Mike Stump <mrs at windriver dot com>]

Successes, after not being able to bootstrap since libstdc++ v3 was
turned on, I was finally able to build.  Below was a magic incantation
to make it build.  The incantation I feel is overly complex and needs
to be fixed.

I have GNU ld in my path, and things kept failing because it was.  The
whole notion of using /usr/ccs/bin/ld needs to be rethought out and
improved.  I am an expert, and it took forever because the compiler
thought it was smarter than it is, but it isn't, as almost every
possible combination I tried failed.  A smart system is one in which
every possible combination tried, works.  Someone thought they were
making a smart system by introducing rules to follow for finding ld,
but those rules have only made the process more brittle for me.  A
non-expert would have no hope of discovering or guessing how to build,
unless someone bestows them with the magic incantation to make it
work.  I only got it working this fast, because someone bestowed upon
me part of the magice incantation.  This is very bad and should be
fixed for 3.0.
