Yes and no ....

And a compiler as well.  If you are just building binutils and not GCC 
then these tests will be marked as UNTESTED.  In fact this is probably 
the cause of these messages since very few linker tests actually attempt 
to execute any code.

The simulators in the sim/ directory are not sophisticated enough to 
emulate a full PE execution environment, and in particular they cannot 
handle the loading of DLLs.  But they are sufficient to run simple test 
programs, such as might be generated by the binutils testsuite.

Cheers
