[PATCH 6/6] build: Remove --with-gnu-ld

[Rainer Orth]

Like the gas case, after the removal of HAVE_GNU_LD and the gnu_ld
variable, the --with-gnu-ld option has become unnecessary, too, so this
patch removes it together with the gnu_ld_flag variable.

Given that the vast majority of configurations use GNU ld or a
compatible linker, the GNU ld annotation to the DEFAULT_LINKER configure
message carries little additional information and is also removed.

Ok for trunk?
