I am not sure I understand the question.  On our system, the sysadm
installed gcc so that it uses the gnu linker.  But one can read at 

http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#sparc-sun-solaris*

that

================================
sparc-sun-solaris*

binutils 2.9.1 has known bugs on this platform. We recommend to use
the vendor tools (Sun as, Sun ld) until these have been
fixed. Unfortunately, C++ shared libraries,
including libstdc++, won't work properly if assembled with Sun as: the
linker will complain about relocations in read-only sections, in the
definition of virtual tables.
Some possible work-arounds: use some development release of binutils,
wait for the next stable binutils release or refrain from creating C++
shared libraries.
===============================

For example, the program RPM's configure exits with an error if it
finds that the gnu linker is used.
