It won't be needed for compatibility on the sparc port either (this isn't a
Sparc issue even, it's a SunOS issue), unless you are going to link against
SunOS shared libraries (which I wouldn't recommend).

I'm considering adding `.sa' searches for use on SunOS 4.x, where our ld can
prove useful for creating shared C++ libs (once it is sorted out how to do it).
