As a kind of fast shooting answer I would assume that gcc calls the native 
solaris linker ld in the linking stage, trading all those arguments to the 
linker that are prefixed with -Wl .

For a more detailed description about the linking stage you should refer to 
the manual and info pages of gcc.

GCC doesn't link on its own.  There is a process called collect2 (called from 
gcc) which is a wrapper around the native linker as I remember.  You can see 
the exact arguments to these gcc processing stages by using 

gcc -v $*
