Yes, I'm aware of that note.  In fact, I specifically need to *try
out* the GNU ld / GNU as combination to debug some issue in the binary
that's being generated.  I did find an old post from a user with a
similar problem (see http://marc.info/?l=gcc&m=112111465407009&w=2)

Even if it's not recommended, but I'm sure it sure does build fine
with that combination?
