Dave, you are really hard to convince. GCC refuses to build a 64 bit binary, linking the object files, if not passed a -m64 flag. I do not know about "ld". I personally do not use it for linking because there are libraries that I would miss and which GCC or any other compiler (g+ +, IBM's,...) takes care of adding when used for linking.
