That said, always in the continuity of this idea, I also notice that ld is used to build some kernel parts. Is it possible (even manually just for test) to use gcc in place of ld? (if yes, howto?)When linking, gcc is just a front end for ld. You can see what happens with "-v", "-Wl,-v", "-Wl,-debug", etc. You can pass any option that you want to ld using the gcc "-Wl" option. Gcc doesn't doing any linking itself.
