[PATCH] x86: restrict gas'es recognition of -s to Solaris

Hi Jan,

I wonder if this is the best possible way to handle this:

* -s is only present for Solaris as compatiblity.  At least gcc doesn't
  use it at all.

* Besides, gcc has done away with Stabs and gdb is following suite (or
  has already), so Stabs become increasingly irrelevant.

* Keeping the (effectively unused) option on Solaris, but using it for
  something else would mean that `something else' isn't available on
  Solaris.  Just a guarantee for user confusion, I believe.

In short, I wonder if it wouldn't be better to just reject -s everywhere
instead.

WDYT?
	Rainer
