[Bug target/25725] New: libtool -rpath works only for GNU ld, not for Sun ld

[alex at milivojevic dot org]

Libtool is always invoked with -rpath /prefix/lib/sparcv9 option.  When using
Sun ld (/usr/ccs/bin/ld), the option should be -R/prefix/lib/sparcv9.  This
results in libraries and some executables not being able to find libraries they
depend on during runtime.  It is possible that sparc-sun-* target is also
affected (not tested).

Examples of libraries and executables that are affected: f951, libgfortran.so,
libobjc.so, libgcj.so, libffi.so.  Possibly more.

Not sure if libtool was supposed to pass -rpath as -R to actual link command
(it didn't), or if libtool should get -R instead of -rpath when Sun ld is used.
