Re: Reinstate bypass for 32-bit relocs overflow on SPARC

Most probably, executables are not in the lower 32-bit segment on Solaris.  
But I've never used STABS for 64-bit code so...

Let's not bother about that at this point.  GCC has defaulted to DWARF-2 for 
64-bit code on Solaris for ages and nobody uses STABS for 64-bit code with 
GCC.  On the other hand, the Sun compiler still uses (extended-)STABS so I 
don't want to disable STABS support in the compiler on Solaris like on Linux.
