With current development snapshots, --enable-shared will do that.

but note that the warning comes from libtool.  I seem to recall this
having been fixed in recent CVS versions of libtool, but I may well be
just making this up.

This is a symptom of configuring --with-gnu-ld (implicitly or
explicitly) and having GCC use the built-in system linker instead.

binutils is one of the sub-directories of the binutils distribution.
Other sub-directories are ld, gas, opcodes, etc.  All of them must be
*individually* moved into the GCC tree, otherwise the magic that
auto-detects them won't work.
