--------------------------------------+--------------------------------
 While testing Peter's fix for #1347, I found that static linking is
 totally broken on Solaris.

 In particular, our linking tests fail on both Solaris 10 and 11 (gcc, i386
 -- I haven't tried with any other compiler or architecture), albeit with
 slightly different error messages. The underlying issue might be the same,
 however, since they both fail in the same situations.

 Note that this problem isn't caused by the fix for #1347; both c4c60ce5
 and 4.12.0 fail in the same way, so this was a preexisting bug.

 Try running the following command to see the problem:

 {{{
 $ echo '(print 1)' | csc -static -o /tmp/a.out -
 }}}

 Test output on Solaris 10:
