OK ... I now have Python working with binutils 2.13.

On the other hand, if I try to build tk 8.4, it dumps core :-(

I would not be at all surprised to see that the -zcombreloc problem
is affecting that build also.  So I wonder whether you are planning
to make -znocombreloc the default again, or whether there might
be a Solaris patch to address the problem.

I tried installing patch 109147-18, which seems to be the latest
consolidated linker patch, but to no avail.
