In preparation for the driver only accepting options listed in .opt
files, and not other options that simply happen to match some spec,
this patch adds options from specs in sparc/sol2-bi.h to a new
sparc/sol2.opt.

The options in question are -sun4 and -target.  As noted in
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-01/msg00909.html>, where I
removed them for non-Solaris targets, I'm not sure they make sense
even for Solaris; an alternative would be to remove the specs in
question from sol2-bi.h.

In particular, one comment removed by that previous patch said
"Prevent error on `-sun4' and `-target sun4' options.", but "-target
sun4" would never have worked because this was not marked as an option
that takes an argument.  So if that is the form with which
compatibility was intended, there has never been actual compatibility
for -target for Solaris.  Note that old versions of GCC did define
WORD_SWITCH_TAKES_ARG in sparc.h to make -target take an argument -
and then undefined it in sysv4.h with the comment 'Undefine some
symbols which are defined in "sparc.h" but which are appropriate only
for SunOS 4.x, and not for svr4.', so that particular option could be
a left-over relic of SunOS 4 support.

Tested building cc1 and xgcc for cross to sparc-solaris2.8.  OK to
commit?  (Or, in the alternative, OK to commit the obvious patch to
remove %{sun4:} %{target:} from specs in sol2-bi.h?)

	* config/sparc/sol2.opt: New.
	* config.gcc (sparc*-*-solaris2*): Use sparc/sol2.opt.

I'd personally be in favor of the latter solution.  What do you think, Rainer?

Me too.  I couldn't find any hint of -sun4 or -target (with or without
sun4) in not-too-ancient Studio compilers.  This stuff seems like
ancient (as in SunOS 4) history to me, so good riddance.

Thanks.
