To check if gold has the same problems as ld (cf. PR ld/7023), I just tried to
build gold on binutils mainline, but failed for a couple of problems:
* gold seems to require a g++ newer than g++ 3.4.3, but doesn't document or
check those requirements
* gold/yyscript.y needs a bison newer than 1.26, but neither documents nor
checks
for this
* elfcpp/elfcpp_swap.h included Linux-only <endian.h> and <byteswap.h>
on Solaris 2, one can use <sys/types.h> instead which either defines
_BIG_ENDIAN or _LITTLE_ENDIAN
I've found no replacement for the swap_{16, 32, 64} functions from
<byteswap.h>, though
* gold/output.h uses ffsll, which is missing
* gold/output.cc uses mmremap and MREMAP_MAYMOVE, which are missing
* gold/object.cc uses memmem, which is undefined
Overall, there is a considerable number of unconditional Linuxisms used
without any check or standards-based alternative, so this probably affects
every non-Linux platform and not only Solaris 2.
