openssh unix dev - Nov 2008 - 'make install' failed on Sparc5, Solaris2.7

Hello,

System info: Sparcstation 5, Solaris 2.7, openssl-0.9.8i.

I've tried to install
openssh-3.9p1
openssh-4.9p1
openssh-5.1p1

all failed the similar way. The following is the last portion of the 
'make install' printout.

Thank you.

A bit of Googleing turned up this:

It's a GNU binutils linker bug:
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2002-07/msg00148.html
http://marc.info/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=103335295922022&w=2

Upgrade to binutils-2.13 or newer, or switch to the native linker as 
someone else suggested.
