AFAICS there should be a software update to bring this up to
| ld: Software Generation Utilities - Solaris Link Editors: 5.7-1.282

which has no -64 but is nice enough to ignore this argument.

I suppose Libtool's  needs to cater to these older linker versions.
What does your system output with this:
  echo 'int main () { return 0; }' > conftest.c
  cc -xarch=v9 -c conftest.c
  /usr/bin/file conftest.o
  ld -64 -o conftest conftest.o; echo $?
  ld -64 -r -o conftest2.o conftest.o; echo $?

(I assume the partial linking test to be more stable across Solaris
versions.)

Thanks,
