>Description:

The toolchain utilities like ar, as, ld, strip, size should be
integrated into the tools framework. This makes it possible to install
binutils on Solaris and keep pkgsrc working.

Currently, the GNU binutils are not supported on Solaris by pkgsrc, and
indeed they do not work. But if they are installed and ${LOCALBASE}/bin
is before /usr/ccs/bin in the path, most packages will use them instead
of the native ones, leading to build failure.
