Issues with Solaris buildbots

I've now set up 4 Solaris binutils buildbots for 32 and 64-bit
Solaris/SPARC and x86.  There are two issues that cause the bots to be red:

* The gprof tests FAIL as described in

	PR gprof/34237
        gprof tests FAIL on Solaris

  This went unnoticed before because this testsuite alone doesn't use
  DejaGnu.

  I suspect this is due to Solaris still using the original BSD gmon.out
  format.  If so, the test scripts could expect that line, similarly to
  the powerpc special case.

* Recently, the new pr29655 test FAILs on SPARC:

	PR ld/34151
        pr29655 FAILs on SPARC

  Fixing this seems to be quite involved.  I wonder if we could just
  xfail the test for now so the bots are actually useful.

Comments?
