The problem is that the executables produced hard-code the wrong path for the dynamic linker and get killed immediately upon launch. In elfxx-x86.c, the path for ELF64_DYNAMIC_INTERPRETER is defined as "/lib/ld64.so.1", but should be "/lib/amd64/ld.so.1" on a Solaris x86_64 system.

OK, I did.  Same result.

Specifically, I did:

configure --enable-gold=default --disable-ld --enable-lto --prefix=/solaris-x86_64 --disable-multilib --disable-nls --target=x86_64-sunos-solaris2.11 --with-sysroot=/solaris-x86_64 --disable-werror --enable-plugins

which is what I’ve been doing.

Assuming that you didn’t make a typo when you typed "x86-64” (with a dash, not an underscore), I also tried:

	--target=x86-64-sunos-solaris2.11

but then the target triple parser presumably gets confused and complains:

	Kernel `sunos' not known to work with OS `solaris2.11’

Looking at the binutils source code, the literal string "/lib/ld64.so.1” still occurs and the literal string "/lib/amd64/ld.so.1” still doesn’t.
