I have two gcc and ld pairs: the default one in /usr/bin (4.0.1) that  
comes with Mac OS X or updates of the Developer Tools metapackage.  
The second pair comes with Fink and is more up-to-date  (4.1.0,  
although it's not clear to me which of the Apple extensions are  
contained in it) -- except for ld: it's obviously the same version!  
Changing the sequence of components in PATH I can direct configure to  
find this or that. I do not change any *.in files or Makefile.

It makes no difference whether I leave away -dead_strip from LDFLAGS  
or not ... (except for some kB in file size)
