Test that gcc -B picks up new ld

gcc configured using --with-ld always uses that particular version of
ld if it exists.  This patch adds a check that the ld version reported
directly from ld-new matches that reported via gcc.  I chose to
compare the ld --version output rather than a more strict test (for
example by gcc --print-prog-name=ld), because the version test allows
a user to run the ld testsuite after installing a new ld (in the place
expected by gcc).

Sample output:
