I think you need a build with the fix for:
6763342 sloppy relocations need to get sloppier
which would be snv_104. Note that OpenSolaris 2008.11
does not have this fix, though I'm sure it will be available
from a repository at some point.
A newer gcc would also help, except that you'll probably be
bootstrapping it with an older one, and will hit this issue
then.
