As reported in Issue #53690, tools/flang/unittests/Optimizer/FlangOptimizerTests FAILs to link on Solaris:
Undefined first referenced symbol in file _ZN3fir7runtimeL8getModelIcEEPFN4mlir4TypeEPNS2_11MLIRContextEEv lib/libFIRBuilder.a(Reduction.cpp.o)
which is mlir::Type (*fir::runtime::getModel<char>())(mlir::MLIRContext*).

Fixed by adding an explicit template instantiation for getModel<char>. I suppose this is necessary because on Solaris char is signed.
Tested on sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11.
