Try adding -Wc,-mimpure-text to the command line.  If it works, I'd
be willing to accept a patch that:

(i) tests whether GCC supports it and use it to build shared
libraries.  Only in this case should we set deplibs_check_method to
pass_all on Solaris with GCC in libtool.m4

(ii) in ltcf-c.sh, ltcf-cxx.sh and ltcf-gcj.sh, in the GCC section of
Solaris, adds -mimpure-text to archive_cmds if deplibs_check_method is
pass_all.
