The problem is that the executables produced hard-code the wrong path for the dynamic linker and get killed immediately upon launch.  In elfxx-x86.c, the path for ELF64_DYNAMIC_INTERPRETER is defined as "/lib/ld64.so.1", but should be "/lib/amd64/ld.so.1" on a Solaris x86_64 system.

1. Please get binutils 2.38.
2. Configure binutils 2.38 to target Solaris/x86-64.
