Nope.  As far as I know, you must use binutils.
Supposedly if you uninstall some Sun patch the linker will work
(you'll have to look on the gcc web site to find the precise info; I
don't have it).  However the one user who tried this reported that it
still doesn't work.  I haven't tried to verify this.
