I haven't tried it yet, but am pretty certain that it won't help:

$  ./ld/ld-new -V
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.45.50.20250904
  Supported emulations:
   elf_x86_64_sol2
   elf_x86_64
   elf_i386_sol2
   elf_i386_ldso
   elf_i386
   elf_iamcu

Since the match isn't anchored it would also match the elf_*_sol2 lines.

Have you actually looked at my description and patch attached to the PR
and the Solaris shared objects attached there for inspection?

	Rainer
