    x86: Ignore protected visibility in shared libraries on Solaris
    
    On x86, the PLT entry in executable may be used as function address for
    functions in shared libraries.  If functions are protected, the function
    address used in executable can be different from the function address
    used in shared library.  This will lead to incorrect run-time behavior
    if function pointer equality is needed.  By default, x86 linker issues
    an error in this case.
    
    On Solaris, linker issued an error for
    
    struct tm *tb = (kind == CPP_time_kind::FIXED ? gmtime : localtime) (&tt);
    
    where gmtime is a protected function in libc.so.  Use gmtime's PLT entry
    in executable as function address is safe since function pointer equality
    isn't needed.  Ignore protected visibility in shared libraries on Solaris
    to disable linker error.  If function pointer equality is needed, linker
    will silently generate executable with incorrect run-time behavior on
    Solaris.

            * elf32-i386.c (elf_i386_scan_relocs): Ignore protected
            visibility in shared libraries on Solaris.
            * elf64-x86-64.c (elf_x86_64_scan_relocs): Likewise.
