Subject: shared libraries and gcc2

On our Suns, I have gcc1 set up to use Sun's ld so it can produce
dynamically linked executables.  By editing gcc.c, I set up g++1 to
use "ld++" (the name under which I installed the GNU ld) since Sun's
ld can't handle C++.

For gcc2, the best way I can think of to get the same effect is to
make g++ a shell script along the lines of:

exec gcc -B<directory containing GNU ld> "$@"

so that it gets the GNU "ld" instead of Sun's /bin/ld, but gcc invoked
normally still gets Sun's ld.

Can anyone think of a cleaner way?

Also, how does gcc2 determine in which directory to look for C++
header files?  The file INSTALL doesn't mention, except for VMS.
