This should have been addressed in >=2.6.1-18.

We also changed the bfd symbol table loading for solaris sometime
around 2.6.1-4.  So you should be good to go.

At some point I'll try to fix out solaris autobuilder to put ansi and
gclcvs builds on the temporary website.  Please note that you may have
to explicitly specify the build host in the gmp3 subconfigure command
if not using dynamic extenral gmp libs.  I.e. after the main configure
stage and before make, cd gmp3 && ./configure --build=solaris2.8........

Take care,
