I'm very late on this discution.
I confirm that, for the Gnat Ada based on gcc 4.7 and binutils 2.23.1,
which we have rebuilt for VMS / Itanium with the help of Adalabs
(https://github.com/AdaLabs/gnat-vms), it was the VMS Linker which was
used, quote:
"""We will build binutils only to use the as component. The ld component
will be built in gcc (above), as it is a wrapper to the VMS LINKER"""
