Fix a problem with the maximum number of open files held in the cache when running...

	PR ld/19260
	* cache.c (bfd_cache_max_open): Avoid using getrlimit on 32-bit
	Solaris as the result is unreliable.

+      /* PR ld/19260: 32-bit Solaris has very inelegant handling of the 255
+        file descriptor limit.  The problem is that setrlimit(2) can raise
+        RLIMIT_NOFILE to a value that is not supported by libc, resulting
+         in "Too many open files" errors.  This can happen here even though
+        max_open_files is set to rlim.rlim_cur / 8.  For example, if
+        a parent process has set rlim.rlim_cur to 65536, then max_open_files
+        will be computed as 8192.
+
+        This check essentially reverts to the behavior from binutils 2.23.1
+         for 32-bit Solaris only.  (It is hoped that the 32-bit libc
+        limitation will be removed soon).  64-bit Solaris libc does not have
