While observing the output from gcc/configure on Solaris 11/SPARC, I
noticed the following error:
checking assembler for GOTDATA_OP relocs... ld: fatal: unrecognized option '-v'
ld: fatal: use the -z help option for usage information
yes
There are at least two problems here:
* Sun ld doesn't support -v, but uses -V instead.
* One should check ld_ver instead, as done in many other places.
* Why would one check for GNU ld at all? If one can detect from the
output if the linker used is buggy or not, it shouldn't matter. The
only reason I could see is avoiding to rely on objdump on Solaris, but
that is used in too many other places to be a real issue.
The follwing patch uses the easy way out and just tests ld_ver. Tested
with make configure-gcc on sparc-sun-solaris2.11 with Sun as/ld, GNU
as/Sun ld, and GNU as/ld without change to gcc/auto-host.h and no linker
error.
Ok for mainline?
