As a kind of fast shooting answer I would assume that gcc calls the native
solaris linker ld in the linking stage, trading all those arguments to the
linker that are prefixed with -Wl .
For a more detailed description about the linking stage you should refer to
the manual and info pages of gcc.
GCC doesn't link on its own. There is a process called collect2 (called from
gcc) which is a wrapper around the native linker as I remember. You can see
the exact arguments to these gcc processing stages by using
gcc -v $*
