RFC: No more linking with ld (use $CC) [Was: Re: Bug under FreeBSD 4.x]

[Robert Boehne]

Hello all,

I've been wondering about these types of problems for
some time now, and it appears to me that it would be
an improvement to use $CC to link, rather than ld.
This is what we do for C++ because tracking all of the
compiler-supplied flags that get passed to ld is too
much work, so if it works for C++, why not do the same for C?

Comments?
