The libxslt configure script in a Solaris prefix invokes /usr/bin/ld directly, misidentifies it, and passes the wrong ld parameters.

Created attachment 208069 [details, diff] patch for libxslt-1.1.26 to correctly detect the Gentoo prefix ld on Solaris
Thanks for your patch! However, I already applied a similar fix yesterday, and filed this upstream bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599396 Can you check if this works for you too?
Yes, I got the patch from the upstream bug after a sync, and it works the same on my Solaris prefix.
