------- Comment #1 from Daniel dot Davies at xerox dot com 2010-06-23 03:58 ------- I tried --with-gnu-ld and --with-ld=/usr/sfw/i386-sun-solaris2.10/bin/ld with the --enable-gold. It didn't work. Once it saw the --enable-gold switch, configure seems to have decided that it really wants to use the version of ld that came with the flavor of gcc that's used to build stage 1. I'll try rebuilding that flavor of gnu next,using gnu ld, to see if that helps.
Also tried leaving out--with-gnu-ld and --with-ld hoping that the system would still build gold (it won't if --without-gnu-ld is set) but realize that it was using Sun's ld. gold was built, but the build crashed in the same way - trying to link libgcc. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44642
