That's why I mentioned that proper linker feature tests can become quite
complicated.

I suppose the following patch is ok then?  It allowed bootstraps with Go
included to complete on i386-pc-solaris2.10 (gas/gld),
i386-pc-solaris2.11 (as/ld), and sparc-sun-solaris2.11 (as/ld).

Btw., before Solaris 11, GNU ld is currently required because
libgo/Makefile.am (BUILDGOX) has a hardcoded use of -Wl,--whole-archive
which older vendor linkers are unlikely to understand.  It happens to
work on Solaris 11 since ld aquired may GNU ld command line options.

	* configure.ac (gcc_cv_ld_static_dynamic): Solaris 2 ld always
	supports -Bstatic/-Bdynamic.
	* configure: Regenerate.

Agreed.

Looks ok, sorry for not reading the thread until today.

Just one question:

If Solaris 2 ld always supports the option, shouldn't the variable be 
set to yes even if gcc_cv_ld is empty?

Only in the native case, so the test may be incomplete here, but I'm
uncertain what's the best way to deal with this.  It also seems that
gcc_cv_ld is always set (at least there seem to be a couple of uses that
don't check if it is set).

Btw, the gcc_cv_ld_static_dynamic check is immediately below a comment

# Target-specific assembler checks.

which doesn't fit ;-(
