Hi Richard,
> I'm quite sure Solaris supports comdats, after all it invented ELF ;)
true: gcc/configure.ac has
# Sun ld has COMDAT group support since Solaris 9, but it doesn't
# interoperate with GNU as until Solaris 11 build 130, i.e. ld
# version 1.688.
#
# If using Sun as for COMDAT group as emitted by GCC, one needs at
# least ld version 1.2267.

The Solaris code has been taught to deal with that, so it should
hopefully be hidden from the rest of the compiler.
