I'm a bit confused by this patch:
- is there really a bug "in Solaris hosted versions of gcc" involved here?  
If so, it would be nice to produce a testcase and file a PR with GCC 
bugzilla (cc-ing ebotcazou@gcc.gnu.org would be even nicer).
- is the bug reported by Kevin not a mere duplicate of
  http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2004-06/msg00089.html
which has been fixed by
  http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2004-06/msg00114.html
in which case the patch is superfluous and the ChangeLog entry a bit 
misleading?
