I don't think it would gain us much. OpenSolaris 2008.11 is
nearly the same as what I'm running. And I don't expect the
linker bits to change between now and the final release.
The linker objects are not stripped, so you should be able
to profile a stock linker:

Please do, and let me know what you find (either way).

Some companies find the 'mcs -z' command comforting in
cases like that. It zeros the progbits of your objects,
rendering them linkable, but not runnable. Dissasembly
yields nothing but symbol names.
