[PATCH] ld: testsuite: xfail vers26b3 on Solaris/amd64

Hi H.J.,

not without an analysis which of them are really UNSUPPORTED (i.e. can
never PASS, thus no attempt is made to run them) and which are just
XFAIL (could be made to PASS with some fix in either binutils or the
testsuite, thus should be run and the outcome compared to what's
expected as described above, yielding either XFAIL or XPASS).
