GNU ld comes first, checking the usage of collect2 gives that instead of
GNU ld, even if GNU ld would be the one that would get used if we link using
gcc.  It's much better, apparently, to ask gcc directly what the path to
GNU ld is (provided it's there at all and gcc knows about it), and ask
the result if it's a GNU or not.  The bonus is that our GNU ld detection
mechanism got shorter and easier to understand...

needed, call 'pod2man' directly if this works

Deal with that by testing any available pod2man and using it if appropriate,
and falling back to util/pod2man.pl if none was found.

This requires a bit more work.  Things like -rpath and the possibility
to still link the programs statically should be included.  Some
cleanup is also needed.  This will be worked on.

used or not, let's ask collect2 which ld it uses and choose to use the
target do-gnu_shared if GNU ld is used.

This solves the reported problems on Solaris systems where GNU cc is
used but GNU ld isn't, and probably on other systems with similar
setups.
