-melf_i386 translates to using an internal script, specifically
/usr/sfw/i386-pc-solaris2.11/lib/ldscripts/elf_i386.xc on
Solaris. Clearly -nostdlib means it can't be used, so it cannot find the
relevant script and gives up:

hatchback:~ $  gld -nostdlib -melf_i386 a.o
gld: cannot open linker script file ldscripts/elf_i386.xc: No such file or 
directory

Since the -nostdlib is presumably there for a reason, the correct fix
seems to be to remove $(LDFLAGS_DIRECT), right?
