The only way I've ever been able to get GCC built to use GNU ld is to have
the ld (binutils) sources merged into the source tree at configure/build
time, and then configure with --with-gnu-ld just to make sure it gets
the point. No --with-ld=foo anywhere.
Configuration will discover and build GNU ld, and gcc knows to look up a
few directories and one over to find it during its own build. They all
get installed together.
