So:

is ambiguous, because it does not reverse all the effects of *shared*?

I have tried to configure this in different ways:
configure
configure -- with-gnu-ld
changning the path to have /usr/local/bin at the front so gnu ld will be
found first.
In all these cases I can find no trace of /usr/local/bin/ld in the
config or make files resulting from running configure.

What else does it look for?  If I symling /usr/local/bin/ld to gld will
configure find it?
