[cairo] [PATCH] pixman solaris hwcap configure test

[M Joonas Pihlaja]

Hey,

The GNU linker doesn't understand the Solaris linker's hwcap files, 
but also doesn't seem to have the problem of marking the final .so as 
SSE/MMX only -- a feature of the native linker which required the 
mapfile in the first place.  The patch below adds a configure test
to see if the linker understands the hwcap mapfile.

Cheers,

Joonas

    Check whether the linker understands the hwcap file before using it.
    
    If we're trying to use the GNU linker on Solaris we shouldn't use
    our solaris-hwcap.mapfile since it doesn't grok the mapfile format.
