Description:
When compiling MySQL Cluster 7.5.0 (based on MySQL 5.7.8) on a Solaris 11.3 VM in Parallels 10 under Mac OS X Yosemite
the file storage/innobase/ut/ut0crc32.cc has problems with its linking. In both storage/innobase/CMakeLists.txt and
extra/CMakeLists.txt there is CMake code to add flags to Linker. In this -nH. This works fine when the Solaris as
is used. It does however not work when using /usr/gnu/bin/as as the linker. In this case -nH isn't recognized.

How to repeat:
Compile MySQL 5.7.8 based tree on Solaris 11.3.

Suggested fix:
Ensure that CMake code only adds the -nH when using Solaris as, don't use it when using Gnu as.

The binaries produced using Gnu as after removing the above code looks fine.

Noted in 5.7.10, 5.8.0 changelogs.

MySQL could fail to compile on Solaris 11.3 when /usr/gnu/bin/as was
used as the linker.
