 Building ghc 7.10.1 on RHEL 5.8. I need to override the old system linker
 which lacks features and performance. I get stage1 built but then it
 forgets the override.

 Configure:

 ./configure --prefix=/home/cavtools/opt/ghc-7.10.1 --with-
 ld=/home/cavtools/64/pkg/bin/gld --with-ar=/home/cavtools/64/pkg/bin/gar
 --with-ranlib=/home/cavtools/64/pkg/bin/granlib

 settings:

 [("GCC extra via C opts", " -fwrapv"),
  ("C compiler command", "/usr/bin/gcc"),
  ("C compiler flags", " -fno-stack-protector"),
  ("C compiler link flags", ""),
  ("Haskell CPP command","/usr/bin/gcc"),
  ("Haskell CPP flags","-E -undef -traditional "),
  ("ld command", "/home/cavtools/64/pkg/bin/gld"),
  ("ld flags", ""),
  ("ld supports compact unwind", "YES"),
  ("ld supports build-id", "YES"),
  ("ld supports filelist", "NO"),
  ("ld is GNU ld", "YES"),
  ("ar command", "/home/cavtools/64/pkg/bin/gar"),

 Failure looks like:

 /usr/bin/ld: unrecognized option '--build-id=none'
 /usr/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information
 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

 But why are you using /usr/bin/ld? I told you not to use /usr/bin/ld!
