Tried that, but it shows nothing. (Apparently it parses the script
first)

But what I did find out was that some of the scripts in 
/usr/gnu/i386-pc-solaris2.11/lib/ldscripts are incomplete! For example
the file elf_i386.xcs is only 21 lines long. It looks like the effect in
this bug-report:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-binutils/2010-04/msg00000.html

Only not all files are truncated, and on another offset. Any idea how to
get the right scripts? (Can I force a re-install of the package? Or an
older version)

Oh, yes, sure. I was running the linker manually.
