Linking issues under Solaris (wrong ld)...

[Matthew]

G'day,

I have deployed gcc on several Solaris 10 systems now for the application I develop, so I am getting pretty familiar with the things to look for, but this time I am stumped.  I will start with a dump of what I know to be relevant data:

$ which g++
/usr/local/bin/g++
$ g++ -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.4.6/specs
Configured with: ./configure --with-gnu-ld
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.6
$ g++ -print-search-dirs | grep prog

$ ls -l /usr/local/libexec/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.4.6/

$ /usr/local/libexec/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.4.6/real-ld -v
GNU ld version 2.17

Everything looks to me as though it should work, but when I try to link:
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: illegal option -- start-group
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: illegal option -- end-group
...
Somehow, it is still trying to use Sun's linker.

I have tried putting /usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/bin into my PATH, putting another real-ld link in my PATH, tried some funny-business with GCC_EXEC_PREFIX (it worked once before!).  I would like to try renaming /usr/ccs/bin/ld to something else and see what happens (just for more information), but the sysadmin will not hear of it.  I have tried Google, but did not find anything I had not already tried.  Is there anything else I can try to resolve this issue?

Thanks,

Matthew
