The patch that I committed to the 5.3 branch is actually slightly
differrent. I just ommitted the comments in the solaris branch of the
case statement, just to play it safe. And I also tested the changes by
reconfiguring on Solaris, and I verifed that the Makefile in gdb was
identical before and after the change.
