SunOS crx1103 5.7 Generic_106541-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

>Description:
Perl build fail because of Sun ld args contains -E which is reserved to GNU ld.
When perl Configure try to detect the default linker, it build a small c program:
cat << EOF >try.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){return 0;}
EOF
and compile it : gcc -v try.c.
The output contains the linker and the default linker on Solaris is /usr/ccs/bin/ld. But in some case the output of gcc -v only show :
ld: Solaris Link Editors: 5.7-1.272
Configure doesn't find ld and set the default value : GNU ld
>How-To-Repeat:
