Did you follow the recommendations at
https://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#ix86-x-solaris210 ?
"It is recommended that you configure GCC to use the GNU assembler"
g++ -g2 -O3 -fPIC -m64 -Wa,--divide -msse4.2 -msha -c sha-simd.cpp

It seems the Solaris assembler cannot handle SHA extensions at this time:
/usr/bin/as -V </dev/null
as: Studio 12.5 Compiler Common 12.5 SunOS_i386 s11_3sru9_2 05/16/2016
It is better to compile a dummy program with g++ -v, it ensures that you
get version info about the assembler that g++ actually calls.
We would like to ask GCC to use NASM instead of 'as'.
I don't think nasm is supported, try gas instead.
Is there a way to tell GCC to use a different assembler?
If the compiler is really different (not just a newer version with
compatible options), you need to recompile gcc.
