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.
