I think what you're seeing here is actually some gcc options being
passed to the compiler regardless of the fact you're not using gcc.
These are likely hard coded in a Makefile somewhere.  I'd suggest
first trying GARCOMPILER = GCC4 before trying to make it use gld for
linking.  Trying to use gld will be an exercise in frustration, so
hopefully you don't need to go there.

Alternately, you can track down where the bad options sneak in and
correct that instead.

HTH.
