I can't be certain and I was hoping my dumb question would elicit "of course" or "no" from the real experts... But given the way binutils and the compiler have to interoperate, I think it's likely that you do. That's the normal process when building crosscompilers (which you aren't) so it may also be when you're selecting unusual config options (which you are). Binutils is much faster to build than gcc so it's not a difficult question to answer for yourself. Naively, I'd feed the same set of config options to binutils and let it ignore the ones it doesn't need. Then having a "synchronised" version of ld etc in the same sysroot, you could eliminate the --with-ld= option pointing at the other one. If you make progress that way, keep the list informed. - Brian
