I sent the solaris 10 default script to Joost to replace his corrupt/bugged
internal ld script. elf32-i386-sol2 is the format used in solaris 10.
Solaris 11 uses elf32-i386. That is why he had to edit the solaris 10 script
to get a working binary from ld on 11. The ld -T option tells the linker to
not use the internal script but the script provided. 
IIRC Joost installed the binutils binary package.
