If you configure with the same --prefix and --target, and you run both "make" and "make install", then gcc should use the installed ld. It shouldn't run "avr-ld". It should run "ld" from the special $(exec_prefix)/$(target_alias) directory. That directory exists to hold tools that the compiler needs to run, under canonical names. Ian
