Unfortunately, this patch broke Solaris bootstrap with /bin/ld:
libstdc++.so fails to link with
ld: fatal: libstdc++-symbols.ver-sun: 5383: symbol
'std::locale::name[abi:cxx11]() const': symbol version conflict
l.5383 has
##_ZNKSt6locale4nameB5cxx11Ev (glob)
_ZNKSt6locale4nameB5cxx11Ev;
i.e.
# std::locale::name() returning new std::string
in GLIBCXX_3.4.21 vs.
##std::locale::[A-Zn-z]* (cxx)
_ZNKSt6locale4nameB5cxx11Ev;
in GLIBCXX_3.4.
