We don't have Solaris 10 over here, but I remember seeing a similar
error on Solaris 9. It occurred because some sysadmin had seen fit
to install a gcc toolchain configured to use the GNU assembler but
the Solaris linker, and it totally broke. My SPARC/Solaris9 gcc
uses both the Solaris assembler and linker, and it works fine.
