Is this really appropriate? I've had excellent success with Sun as/ld on
SPARC and 32-bit x86, or at the most GNU as and Sun ld on amd64.
It seems much better to me to stay with Sun ld (which supports several
Solaris-specific features) and use GNU as if necessary than giving a
wholesale recommendation for all of GNU binutils.
The whole section on as/ld recommendations could probably use a
considerably improved wording to make recommended and discouraged
combinations clearer.
