With GCC 4.6 (at least) and above, `configure --help` tells there exist a `--enable-ld` option. The reference help [1] for GCC configuration options, makes no mention of it, and the help returned by `configure` is sparse on this option. As far as I know, `ld` is part of `binutils`, so do I guess right if I believe it does not build an `ld` to be installed with GCC? If it does not build an `ld`, what does it do? Is this an alias of `--with-gnu-ld`? if it's not documented in [1] (and not really by `configure`), where is this documented?
