No. Like Joerg wrote, GNU ld is buggy and not fully functional on Solaris. If you look at the changelogs, you'll see all kind of modifications to Sun's ld that GCC doesn't have. I believe that /usr/ccs/bin/ld is used even when compiling with Sun Studio. In general, you should avoid GNU tools unless you have no other choice, where the software you're trying to compile is so bad and so non-portable that you have to use GCC and other GNU tools.
