Description Peter Åstrand cendio 2012-12-12 12:54:19 CET 
Our linker on Solaris always gives this error:

/usr/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/4.5.3/../../../../sparc-sun-solaris2.10/bin/ld: BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.21 assertion fail elf-strtab.c:247
/usr/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/4.5.3/../../../../sparc-sun-solaris2.10/bin/ld: BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.21 assertion fail elf-strtab.c:247

It doesn't seem to cause any real problems though. However, some configure script, such as the Cairo one, requires empty output from some test compilations (such as the pthread tests). 

We believe this is related to http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14862
 .

Fixed in our binutils and reported upstream.
