While building under SmartOS in a buildzone (IllumOS, former OpenSolaris) i have the problem that with binutils 2.22 the fpc generated linker script line in ppas.sh /opt/local/bin/gld -melf_x86_64 -s -L. -o my_program link.resis not working anymore. Because the only targets the new binutils 2.22 support on solaris are elf_x86_64_sol2 and elf_i386_sol2.
That's probably "supported by default". I'm sure it's possible to still build a binutils version that still supports regular elf_x86_64.
My suggestion would be to simply change the compiler to always use elf_x86_64_sol2/elf_i386_sol2 and require binutils 2.21 or higher on Solaris. It's not like there is a massive user base for that platform, nor very old Solaris/x86 systems that will have trouble supporting newer binutils versions.
Apparently the Solaris ABI is in fact different from the regular x86 ELF abi, which is why that change was made in the first place. So the programs generated with -melf_x86_64/-m-melf_i386 were not properly ABI-compliant in the first place.
