Starting with our move from 2.3.3 to 2.4.5 (sparc/sunos4.2),
g++ began using its own gld instead of the Sun's ld.  While
this produces working executables, attempting to dynamically
link with the Sun ld "-A" option fails due to toolversion number
mismatch: 1 for ld, 0 for gld.  Also, gld does not support the
-A option (well, actually it has a different meaning for -A),
so using gld to perform the dynamic link apparently isn't possible.

Is there an easy way to get
  1. gas/gld to use toolversion 1 in its output objects, or
  2. gld to support the Sun ld notion of incremental linking via -A?
     (I read the info page, but perhaps I missed some hidden option.)

At present, I am simply re-writing the exec header's toolversion
number, which works fine, but isn't exactly pretty.
Just out of curiousity, does anyone know what the semantics of the
0->1 change are supposed to be?

E-mail response please.  Thanks muchly.
