 Sorry, that was a bone-headed mistake on my part.  /usr/ccs/bin/ld is
 in fact the stock one that comes with that release of OpenSolaris, it
 reports as yours does above.  I assumed that was what I would be
 getting with "ld -V", but in fact, /usr/gnu/bin was in my path first,
 so that's what was reporting before, GNU binutils must've been
 packaged with GCC.
 
 I just retried the build and checked to make sure it was calling
 /usr/ccs/bin/ld, and it is.  (configure output snippet below)
 
 ...
 checking for ld used by gcc... /usr/ccs/bin/ld
 checking if the linker (/usr/ccs/bin/ld) is GNU ld... no
 ...
