GCC thinks you're using one linker but actually
uses another.  Check out the brief thread starting at

You might also need --with-gnu-ld.  (I've noticed that even then, collect2
still emits a bunch of Sun-type linker options.  Possibly by design?
Fortunately, GNU ld speaks all of those options for portability.)


Incidentally, I made some tweaks to avoid building zlib (build) / libzgcj
(host) when Java isn't one of the configured languages.  I keep forgetting
to post the patch.
