commit r16-7074-g0e240e22ce40cc173e48796474311a88df695c10

build: Unifiy 32 and 64-bit linker options
Similarly to assembler option handling in gcc/configure.ac, selecting
linker options to control 32 or 64-bit output is handled in various
different ways all over the place.
This patch uses the same approach as its assembler equivalent, setting
ld_32_opt and ld_64_opt once and using the result everywhere.
Bootstrapped without regressions on i386-pc-solaris2.11,
amd64-pc-solaris2.11, sparc-sun-solaris2.11, sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11
(as/ld and gas/gld), x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, i686-pc-linux-gnu,
x86_64-unknown-freebsd14.3, sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu, and
x86_64-apple-darwin21.6.0.
2026-01-10 Rainer Orth <ro@CeBiTec.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>
gcc:
* configure.ac (ld_32_opt, ld_64_opt): Set.
(ld_ix86_gld_32_opt): Replace by ld_32_opt.
(ld_ix86_gld_64_opt): Replace by ld_64_opt.
Replace -melf_x86_64 by ld_64_opt.
* configure: Regenerate.
