understood. However, Solaris 12 *does* have support for constructor
priorities and the testcase still fails, so there's more going on here.

While this would take care of the testsuite failures, this creates a
terrible user experience outside of the testsuite: if we know that
-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage cannot work on targets without
constructor priority support, the compiler should error out with an
appropriate message instead of just creating confusing non-working
executables.
