I attempted to reproduce the problem on Solaris 10 sparc (it ships with binutils 2.15 dated 2004) and failed to reproduce it. I could well have gotten the recipe wrong, though. I doubt whether the dwindling band of Solaris users will care about this one way or another, as they invariably use the Solaris linker, which does not need this flag. Following up to other emails: Yes, Solaris is still a thing and we run it on a few servers here. Solaris 11.3 was released last month. Oracle plans to support Solaris 10 through 2021 and Solaris 11 through at least 2024. Daniel's right that -znocombreloc isn't needed if CANNOT_DUMP.
