Description Ivo Raisr 2016-03-19 20:12:00 UTC

Kludge introduced by BZ#353802 for Solaris solving a problem with multiple sections named
".rodata" is no longer needed. Solaris linker now combines SHF_STRINGS SHF_MERGE sections with differing alignment and thus creates only one .rodata section.
The situation with multiple ".rodata" sections existed only between dozens of builds of Solaris 12.
