First off, ld.new can't be used on an a.out system (1.4.[012]).  It is
usable only on ELF systems in NetBSD-current.

If you are already on ELF in NetBSD-current, your ld already accepts
--whole-archive.  If php4rc2 is passing "-Wl,--whole-archive" directly to
ld, and not to cc, you need to remove the "-Wl," part.

With that said, in order to update ld, you have to compile
src/gnu/lib/libbfd and install it (but DO NOT MAKE CLEAN in that directory)
before compiling ld.
