The current Solaris implementation in
${top}/tools/clang/lib/Driver/Tools.cpp has all the GCC and
linker-related machinery hardcoded.

I have a number of patches for Solaris which would make all the linker
stuff work much better (and would give one the option to choose
between different linkers at link time) but I haven't gotten the green
light from Oracle to make these patches public yet - i'm waiting on
the internal approval chain to complete.

We *really* want to contribute Solaris support (Intel and SPARC) to
clang/llvm, and these legal approvals are not only required, but also
in everyone's best interests (not just our own).

i'm waiting for legal approvals at this point, and i don't have a
better solution handy at the moment. The only thing i can offer is
"stay tuned, we're working on it". :-)
