+If you wish to use GNU ld, then you need to pass it the -Wl,-E flag.
+The hints/solaris_2.sh file tries to do this automatically by executing
+the following commands:
+
+ ccdlflags="$ccdlflags -Wl,-E"
+ lddlflags="$lddlflags -Wl,-E -G"
+
+However, over the years, changes in gcc, GNU ld, and Solaris ld have made
+it difficult to automatically detect which ld ultimately gets called.
+You may have to manually edit config.sh and add the -Wl,-E flags
+yourself, or else run Configure interactively and add the flags at the
+appropriate prompts.
