Build failure (bad linker flags) on Solaris-11 about llvm-upc HOT 3 CLOSED

This now appears to be "pilot error".

Because the system gcc is 4.5, I had built my own gcc-4.9.2 to compile llvm+clang.
That gcc defaulted to using the Solaris linker.
I am now rebuilding gcc-4.9.2 to use the gnu linker instead.
I suspect that will be sufficient to resolve the problem.

I will close once I've confirmed the proposed fix.

I now have a successful build of clang-upc (et al.) on Solaris-11/x86-64 with the default (ILP32) ABI.

I needed to both

• Ensure gcc was configured with --with-gnu-ld and --with-gnu-as
• Place /usr/gnu/bin ahead of /usr/bin at configure and make time

I still have some issues with trying to build for the LP64 ABI, by which I mean clang and friends as 64-bit executable - I don't expect to use multilib support in clang. I will update this issue when I have sorted those issues out.

The LP64 build worked fine this time.
I don't know if the issue was a parallel-make race or not, but I cannot reproduce now.
