GNU ld gained separate Solaris-specific linker emulations (*_sol2) long

GCC 16: since all supported versions of GNU ld do support the *_sol2
emulations, GCC now uses them unconditionally.
libtool has also been updated to handle this since libtool 2.4.2 back in
2011. However, that change has only partially been backported to the
heavily patched libtool.m4 in the GCC tree: the sparcv9 part is there,
but the amd64 part is missing for some reason. This causes problems
with some recent binutils changes.
Therefore this patch cherry-picks the libtool patch to bring
Solaris/x86_64 in sync with Solaris/sparcv9 and upstream libtool.
Bootstrapped without regressions on {amd64,i386}-pc-solaris2.11 and
{sparcv9,sparc}-sun-solaris2.11.
While the patch is completely Solaris-specific, it requires regenerating
every configure script, therefore I'd like to get approval first.
Besides, the libgo regeneration needs to go to the upstream repo first,
I believe.
Given it's just backporting from upstream libtool, this is OK.
