Description
/usr/ccs/bin/ld doesn't support --gc-sections option. This is why during GCC 4.7 tests it fails with the following error:
Executing on host: c++ ./g++.dg/eh/gcsec1.C fmessage-length=0 -std=gnu++98 -ffunction-sections -Wl,--gc-sections -lm -o ./gcsec1.exe (timeout = 300)'
spawn c++ ./g++.dg/eh/gcsec1.C -fmessage-length=0 -std=gnu++98 -ffunction-sections -Wl,--gc-sections -lm -o ./gcsec1.exe
ld: fatal: unrecognized option '-
ld: fatal: use the -z help option for usage information
ld should support this option for better compatibility with GNU ld.
