problem with binutils on 64 bit solaris

[Josh Baratz]

Hello, so I was building binutils for 64 bit applications using the 
sparcworks compiler. This compiler requires the -xarch=v9 flag to build in 
64 bit mode.

trying to use the tools provided, I used the following commands
./configure --prefix=/tmp --enable-CFLAGS="-xarch=v9";make;make install

the make install failed in the bfd/doc subdirctory, trying to link the chew 
program.

I patched the makefile in that directory, (it wasn't including $CFLAGS for 
that link), and have successfully used the library with this change made.

System info and diffs follow.
