Unfortunately, the relevant section

  We recommend the use of GNU binutils 2.14 or later, or the vendor tools
  (Sun as, Sun ld). Note that your mileage may vary if you use a combination
  of the GNU tools and the Sun tools: while the combination GNU as + Sun ld
  should reasonably work, the reverse combination Sun as + GNU ld is known to
  cause memory corruption at runtime in some cases for C++ programs.

is relatively vague.  I'll probably have to look up when it was added to
get some details.  Anyway, the two other cases I tried (GNU as + Sun ld and
GNU as + GNU ld) worked resonably well when comparing testsuite results to
the Sun as + Sun ld baseline.  Only the Sun as + GNU ld case broke in
several respects: this PR + ld/7027 + GCC PRs libgomp/38086 and
libstdc++/38092.

Unfortunately, I need at least one configuration as a baseline for a proper
fix for GCC PR bootstrap/33100.
