I sent a similar message on another thread, but I'm concerned it has gotten lost.

My regression.py runs using BBv2 on Solaris are failing a large number of tests due to an invalid command line option being passed to the linker.  The problem is that " -Wl,-rpath-link" isn't valid for the Solaris linker (see http://tinyurl.com/jeecl).

There seems to be some logic in v2/tools/gcc.jam to handle this (see "case sun" in init-link-flags) but later the "actions link bind" explicitly uses -Wl,-rpath-link which I believe is the problem.

I don't know enough bjam magick to know how to fix this, sorry.
