That /is/ the official position.  :-)

There isn't any right now.  I happen to be working on some to detect GNU
ld and produce a WITH_GNU_LD macro.  The same could be done for GNU as.
I think we can assume that if those are not defined, we're using the
native tool (unless there's a platform which offers its own choice of
assemblers/linkers, egads).

But I don't have authority over the gcc configury, so even if I can get
someone to answer my questions on the other mailing lists, I still need
to get the patch approved.
