I ran into precisely this problem: I wanted g++ and gcc to use different
linkers. However, both look for .../lib/gcc-ld by default.

I changed my g++ makefile so that the GNU tool prefix is g++-* instead of
gcc-*. Thus my .../lib directory contains the following:

g++-as@       g++-gnulib@   gcc-as@       gcc-gnulib*
g++-cc1plus*  g++-include/  gcc-cc1*      gcc-include/
g++-cpp@      g++-ld@       gcc-cpp*      gcc-ld@

I think this change should be adopted by the g++ camp. At the very worst,
you will just have to add a few g++-* symbolic links pointing at the gcc-*
files.

Georg.
