Alternative could be to run /usr/ccs/bin/ld directly, but then we would have to cope with multiple ABI supported by kernel ourselves and we don't want that. I think... > What happens if the compiler > isn't GNU but ld is? Can't happen. Vendor compiler driver does not take any chances but invokes linker by explicit path, /usr/ccs/bin/ld to specific. Well, the only exclusion from this rule is when it wants/is instructed to perform incremental linking in which case it calls /opt/SUNWspro/*/bin/ild, where * stands for a version abbreviation, e.g. WS6 stands for WorkShop 6.
