This has now been fixed.  Besides, the bot uncovered that profiling on
32-bit Solaris/x86 had been broken for a decade:

	libgcc: Fix _mcount on 32-bit Solaris/x86 [PR38239]
        https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2026-June/720299.html

The fix is in GCC trunk now and locally on the buildbots.

The xfail just went in, turning all four buildbots green for the first
time.

Thanks a lot to everyone involved both in getting binutils into shape
and the buildbots up and running.
