Replacing the linker (or assembler) used at gcc configure time with a
different one at runtime is not supported: the configure process
determines several linker features and hardcodes the result into the
compiler built.
>> Is this a bug in the GNU ld 2.21.x?
No, but gcc 4.4.4 doesn't support gld 2.21. That version introduced the
elf*_sparc_sol2 linker emulations, and this is only handled by gcc 4.4.5
and newer. Please note that both gcc 4.4 and 4.5 are ancient history by
now and not supported any longer.

In a way, yes, see above.
