Is there an easy way to tell gcc to use the system-provided ld instead
of the GNU ld (installed for g++)?
I could hack the find_exec_file function in gcc.c to look for "ld" and
not search the lib directory, but that's real ugly.

I ran into precisely this problem: I wanted g++ and gcc to use different
linkers. However, both look for .../lib/gcc-ld by default.
I changed my g++ makefile so that the GNU tool prefix is g++-* instead of
gcc-*. Thus my .../lib directory contains the following:
g++-as@ g++-gnulib@ gcc-as@ gcc-gnulib*
g++-cc1plus* g++-include/ gcc-cc1* gcc-include/
g++-cpp@ g++-ld@ gcc-cpp* gcc-ld@
I think this change should be adopted by the g++ camp. At the very worst,
you will just have to add a few g++-* symbolic links pointing at the gcc-*
files.
Georg.
