inplace/bin/ghc-stage1 doesn't respect --with-ld override

Building ghc 7.10.1 on RHEL 5.8. I need to override the old system linker which lacks features and performance. I get stage1 built but then it forgets the override.

Configure:

1. /configure --prefix=/home/cavtools/opt/ghc-7.10.1 --with-ld=/home/cavtools/64/pkg/bin/gld --with-ar=/home/cavtools/64/pkg/bin/gar --with-ranlib=/home/cavtools/64/pkg/bin/granlib

settings:

[("GCC extra via C opts", " -fwrapv"), ("C compiler command", "/usr/bin/gcc"), ("C compiler flags", " -fno-stack-protector"), ("C compiler link flags", ""), ("Haskell CPP command","/usr/bin/gcc"), ("Haskell CPP flags","-E -undef -traditional "), ("ld command", "/home/cavtools/64/pkg/bin/gld"), ("ld flags", ""), ("ld supports compact unwind", "YES"), ("ld supports build-id", "YES"), ("ld supports filelist", "NO"), ("ld is GNU ld", "YES"), ("ar command", "/home/cavtools/64/pkg/bin/gar"), ("ar flags", "q"), ("ar supports at file", "YES"), ("touch command", "touch"), ("dllwrap command", "/bin/false"), ("windres command", "/bin/false"), ("libtool command", "libtool"), ("perl command", "/usr/bin/perl"), ("target os", "OSLinux"), ("target arch", "ArchX86_64"), ("target word size", "8"), ("target has GNU nonexec stack", "True"), ("target has .ident directive", "True"), ("target has subsections via symbols", "False"), ("Unregisterised", "NO"), ("LLVM llc command", "llc"), ("LLVM opt command", "opt") ]

inplace/lib/settings:

[("GCC extra via C opts", " -fwrapv"), ("C compiler command", "/usr/bin/gcc"), ("C compiler flags", " -fno-stack-protector"), ("C compiler link flags", ""), ("Haskell CPP command","/usr/bin/gcc"), ("Haskell CPP flags","-E -undef -traditional "), ("ld command", "/home/cavtools/64/pkg/bin/gld"), ("ld flags", ""), ("ld supports compact unwind", "YES"), ("ld supports build-id", "YES"), ("ld supports filelist", "NO"), ("ld is GNU ld", "YES"), ("ar command", "/home/cavtools/64/pkg/bin/gar"), ("ar flags", "q"), ("ar supports at file", "YES"), ("touch command", "touch"), ("dllwrap command", "/bin/false"), ("windres command", "/bin/false"), ("libtool command", "libtool"), ("perl command", "/usr/bin/perl"), ("target os", "OSLinux"), ("target arch", "ArchX86_64"), ("target word size", "8"), ("target has GNU nonexec stack", "True"), ("target has .ident directive", "True"), ("target has subsections via symbols", "False"), ("Unregisterised", "NO"), ("LLVM llc command", "llc"), ("LLVM opt command", "opt") ]

Failure looks like:

But why are you using /usr/bin/ld? I told you not to use /usr/bin/ld!
