Comment (by kgardas):

 Just going thorough search of split-sections and SplitSection in the tree
 and general feeling about it is that the feature is supported only when
 GNU linker is used. This is unfortunately not the case on Solaris as
 Solaris gcc is using Solaris own linker:
 {{{
 $ gcc -v
 Using built-in specs.

 }}}
 anyway, I'll give it a try and report back.
