It took quite a bit of work for and with the Solaris linker engineers to get that support right in ld and the configure test to pass. If you're forcing that support when the test fails, it's quite likely that something is not quite right with Illumos ld's support (which was only added independently after Oracle closed down OpenSolaris).
