[Bug-readline] [PATCH] building libreadline.so on Solaris 10/Sparc (64-bits)

[Fabian Groffen]

Hi,

I observed the following build failure on Solaris 10/Sparc with a
64-bits GCC compiler and GNU binutils ld:

( cd shlib ; make  all )

make: [shared] Error 2 (ignored)

The problem appears only on sparcv9 (64-bits), x86_64, x86 and sparc
compilations on Solaris 10 go fine.

I attached the patch that works for me, and doesn't break any of the
other Solaris targets.
