New description:

 It seems there is a bug in RTS somewhere which makes libHSrts_thr_debug in
 a way it's including some symbols from the bfd library. The bug shows
 itself as a lot of testsuite tests failing with undefined symbols which
 originates in the BFD library. Example:
 {{{
 =====> cg013(threaded1)
 cd ./codeGen/should_run && '/buildbot/ghc/kgardas/build/compiler/stage2
 /ghc-inplace' -no-recomp -dcore-lint -dcmm-lint -Di386_unknown_solaris2
 -o cg013 cg013.hs -threaded -debug   >cg013.comp.stderr 2>&1
 Compile failed (status 256) errors were:
 Undefined                       first referenced
  symbol                             in file
 bfd_openr
 /buildbot/ghc/kgardas/build/rts/libHSrts_thr_debug.a(Printer.thr_debug_o)
 bfd_init
 /buildbot/ghc/kgardas/build/rts/libHSrts_thr_debug.a(Printer.thr_debug_o)
 bfd_check_format_matches
 /buildbot/ghc/kgardas/build/rts/libHSrts_thr_debug.a(Printer.thr_debug_o)
 ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to cg013
 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
