I don't think he meant native-ld alone. I assumed that he meant
collect2+native-ld instead of gnu-ld. Unfortunately, gnu-ld does not work
very well with AIX, particularly newer releases. This is partially due to
the difficult that I have encountered trying to extract the design
documents from IBM's RS/6000 Division to ease Cygnus's engineering effort.
The internal details are not very well documented in AIX's online
documentation.
