OK, so it has been established that /usr/bin/ld is the Solaris linker,
not the GNU linker.

And apparently, this version of GCC has been built using
--without-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/bin/ld --with-gnu-as --with-as=/usr/gnu/bin/as

Who built that toolchain? Maybe they can solve this mess,
if they consider /usr/bin/ld can cope with /usr/gnu/bin/as

Could you try something similar to what Aldo tried:

mv /usr/bin/ld /usr/bin/ld-non-gnu
ln -sv /usr/gnu/bin/ld /usr/bin/ld

I.e. go behind the system's back to use the GNU linker.
What happens then?

Regards.
