Guilty as charged. I guess I never have and I've just been getting
away with it (that is, until now).

Thank you. Using the options --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld fixed the
error.

I had read this but I didn't see anything relevant and I still
don't even after rereading it. Could you be more specific about
which part I should follow? (The build went fine, I just want
to be sure I don't run into something down the line.)
