| Is there an easy way to tell gcc to use the system-provided ld instead

here is what i did.  i changed the installation of ld from .../lib/gcc-ld to
.../lib/gcc-ld++. then in gcc.c (in the g++ distribution) i changed the
definition of link_spec to look for ld++ rather than ld. now g++ looks for
ld++ and only finds it in .../lib/gcc-ld++ and gcc looks for ld, and finds
the original system supplied one. this way i get dynamic libraries for gcc
(i run SunOS 4.0.3), and the appropriate linking for g++.
