AFAICS this caused
+FAIL: libstdc++-abi/abi_check
on Solaris. In libstdc++.log I find
# of added symbols: 0
# of missing symbols: 9

9 missing symbols

_ZTIDf
typeinfo for decimal32
version status: unversioned
type: object
type size: 8
status: subtracted
[...]
and a few more, all DFP related. They used to be emitted by g++ for
__fundamental_type_info in libsupc++/fundamental_type_info.cc and lived
in the CXXABI_1.3.4 version. However, since Solaris *does* lack DFP
support, that's no longer the case. I'm uncertain how best to deal with
this, however.
