 configure script tries to guess how to pass "version script" to linker:

 {{{
 VERSION_SCRIPT_FLAGS=
 $(/usr/bin/ld --help 2>&1 | grep -- --version-script >/dev/null) && \
     VERSION_SCRIPT_FLAGS=-Wl,--version-script=
 test "`uname`" == "SunOS" && \
     VERSION_SCRIPT_FLAGS="-Wl,-M -Wl,"
 AC_SUBST(VERSION_SCRIPT_FLAGS)
 AM_CONDITIONAL([USE_VERSION_SCRIPT], [test -n "$VERSION_SCRIPT_FLAGS"])

 }}}

 And now it sets "-Wl,-M -Wl," on illumos/solaris *even* if GNU ld is in
 use.

 Here are examples how to detect Solaris linker.
 ($with_gnu_ld is set via libtool macros)

 {{{
 with_sun_ld=no
 if test x$with_gnu_ld = xno; then
     AC_MSG_CHECKING([if the linker ($LD) is Solaris ld])
     if $LD --version 2>&1 | grep -q Solaris ; then
         with_sun_ld=yes
     fi
     AC_MSG_RESULT([$with_sun_ld])
 fi
 AM_CONDITIONAL(GNULD, [test x$with_gnu_ld = xyes])
 AM_CONDITIONAL(SUNLD, [test x$with_sun_ld = xyes])
 }}}
