#1786: can't build ghc-6.8.0.20071017 under Solaris using a GNU linker

Comment (by guest):
gcc does not necessarily use the ld first in PATH. if i recall correctly,
the gcc docs describe various routes to find gcc's tools, and on Solaris
installs, those tend to be pre-configured to end up with Solaris ld. try
'gcc -print-search-dirs' to see where it is looking before considering
PATH, and have a look for GCC_EXEC_PREFIX (which is used before the
preconfigured paths). of course, cabal/ghc should really make sure that
they use the ld they've configured with:-)
