binutils 2.17 vs. Solaris 10 issues

[Caleb Epstein]

This is rather a complex test (Boost Python regression tests), but using the latest CURRENT OpenPKG with binutils 2.17 leads to errors like this:

    "g++" -L"/openpkg/lib/python2.4/config"  -o "/home/cae/boost-regression/RC_1_34_0/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/python/test/andreas_beyer.test/gcc-

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

If you can't read those long lines they end with:
dlsym: invalid version 3 (max 0)
could not read symbols: Bad value

If I revert to the binutils 2.16.1 package from STABLE, the exact same command runs without error, without recompiling any of the objects.

Is this an OpenPKG bug or a binutils bug?  I'm guessing the latter.  In the meantime, I think it might be time for me to track the STABLE branch for a while :)
