the SunPro wrappers are quite complete now, and should handle pretty
much anything gccish that is thrown at them.

if at all possible, we should refrain from using any compiler specific
stuff when fixing things like this.. after doing that, often things
Just Work with multiple different compilers.

if you must, though, gcc/GNU binutils options are acceptable and
