The following patch documents the Solaris 10 obsoletion in the GCC 9
changes.html. I've based this on the GCC 4.9 text which allowed for
obsoletion of several targets. Tested by inspection in Firefox.
Ok to install?
As a followup, we should update criteria.html to name
sparc-sun-solaris2.11 as primary platform. Although mechanical, I
suspect this requires SC approval?
