For Java programs (with gcc and libgcj) you apparently *have* to use
GNU ld; otherwise Java runtime library initialization fails in strange
ways.  Setting PATH does not change the compiled-in default (gcc
usually wanted to use /usr/ccs/bin/ld in our compilation); but this
default can be overriden by creating links in directories such as
/opt/gcc-2.95.2/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/bin (if gcc has been compiled
with --prefix=/opt/gcc-2.95.2 on a sparc-sun-solaris2.6 system).

I think before I had created this link, the gcc configure script
detected GNU ld because of the PATH setting, but the compiled gcc
still used /usr/ccs/bin/ld (or even used both versions for different
purposes), so gcc didn't work very well ...  I had to use 'ls -ul' and
'truss' a lot until gcc worked again after I had installed GNU ld.

Installing GNU ld was no problem at all, the problem was to persuade
gcc to use it correctly.
