Just out of curiosity I tried the Sun as/ld (solaris2.6) and didn't
expreience any problems so far. The issues of relocations in
read-only sections and too long symbols as mentioned in
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#sparc-sun-solaris*
did not occur.

This might leave more than one choice (i.e. other than GNU binutils
2.11.1 or better) for C++ users on solaris with gcc3...
