I haven't been following the Solaris build instructions for 4.0.0, but
it seems as if binutils or ld/as requirements are pretty strict. There
have been a lot of bugs about missing functions and link-time odditites.
Do you test results look something like:

I would suggest you try and reproduce the Boost.Spirit issue on linux.
If you can, then it's probably not related to binutils lossage.

That part is only in 4.1, actually. However, it's still nice that 4.0.0 works.
