Ah, sorry for being misleading.

I think I see the real problem now.  The OP is using GCC 3.4.3, which
does not have this patch:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-09/msg02353.html

That patch was added in GCC 4.0.  It changes GCC to use the
SHT_AMD64_UNWIND section type for the .eh_frame section on x86_64
Solaris.

I think the effect is that version of GCC before 4.0 do not properly
support Solaris 10.
