Of course.  It seems I misunderstood you at first.

Same systems here.  Whether or not using GNU ld, gcc always calls its
collect2.  I admit I haven't looked at it, since the behaviour is the
same when s/collect2/ld/ I don't suspect it doing things wrong.

I have the oppositite experience ;)  There's only some pitfalls
involving the use of -G iso -shared, and not using -pthread.

I'm working on building GCC 4.7.1 now to see if that makes a difference.
