gcc/ configure tests on the linker generally test the build-x-target linker, which is required to have the same version and be configured the same as the host-x-target linker. (The tests mustn't actually try to link anything, but they can e.g. see if a particular option is mentioned in --help output. In general they also have version number checks for the case of an in-tree linker build.) -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
