And vice-versa -- 10 minutes ago I tried gobjcopy 2.15 on the command line (on Solaris 11, with the same libjvm.so) and it worked.

I'm testing a from-scratch build right now.

Thanks very much for your help.
Note that this appears to be a sparc-specific problem; I've been building on Intel Solaris 11 with no problems.

Hmmm, differently busted, seems like I ought to install it properly instead of just copying over one binary,
might want to update the rest of the binutils as well:

Making signal interposition lib...
Making libjvm_dtrace.so
Opening 'libjsig.so' for update
No SHF_ALLOC flags needed to be cleared.
Done with 'libjsig.so'
Opening 'libjvm_dtrace.so' for update

Done with 'libjvm_dtrace.so'
