Good link to read :

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/eserver/articles/gnu.html?ca=dnp-43

Question: Could I put a `uname` in binutils and gcc specs to :

binutils :

rename ld into gld (IBM does also that in ther AIX Toolbox for Linux)

gcc :

specify to use /usr/bin/ld (AIX LINKER) 

Regards
