Looks like this is essentially equivalent to the patch from Fabian Groffen 
that I recently committed:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=libtool.git;a=commitdiff;h=eee4f853019cc246b1d65054771f85ef500098ff

The distinction is that you match only "x86_64-*-solaris2.1[[0-9]]*", while 
Fabian's patch matches "x86_64-*-solaris*".  Is there a need for the 
more-complex pattern?  If so, I can make an amended commit.

Thanks,
