We recently upgraded to 4.2.1 and noticed an immediate issue. After compiling
gcc for sparcv9 and specifically setting --with-ld=/usr/local/gnu/bin/ld,
whenever gcc actually runs it internally calls the Sun linker and therefore
dies with unknown options. A simple "hello world" refuses to build because of
bad LD options. Setting LD= seems to have little effect. I'm pasting a -v
output of it below. Note I was using g++ here because that was handy, but it is
the same for eitehr gcc or g++:
/usr/local/bin/sparcv9/g++ -v hello.cpp
Using built-in specs.
Target: sparc-sun-solaris2.9
