Patch fixing the issue

When building on SunOS (OpenIndiana 5.11) with -DLLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON, the
shared library contains almost no symbols. It seems that the root cause is that
-Wl,--whole-archive is not passed (anymore) to the linker.

tools/llvm-shlib/CMakeLists.txt has:

if("${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME}" STREQUAL "Linux") # FIXME: It should be "GNU ld for
elf"
  # GNU ld doesn't resolve symbols in the version script.
  set(LIB_NAMES -Wl,--whole-archive ${LIB_NAMES} -Wl,--no-whole-archive)
elseif("${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME}" STREQUAL "Darwin")
  set(LIB_NAMES -Wl,-all_load ${LIB_NAMES})
endif()


So it seems that -Wl,--whole-archive is passed only on Linux. The SunOS linker
supports (and requires) that option as well. I don't really understand the
comment about version scripts (esp. that AFAIU no version script is used by
default). However, adding OR for SunOS fixes the issue for me.

I'm attaching a trivial patch that does exactly that.</pre>
