Build on Solaris

I am building Subversion 1.4.0 on Solaris 2.6 SPARC... I am having a
problem related to the build using /usr/ccs/bin/ld instead of the GNU ld
in /usr/local/bin.

In the past, e.g. Subersion 1.3.x, specifying the PATH was sufficient
for the build to use the GNU toolset:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

However, with 1.4.0, I have found that configure persists on using
/usr/ccs/bin/ld instead of /usr/local/bin/ld despite the PATH ordering
(which eventually results in a build error).

Therefore, I also defined:

export LD=/usr/local/bin/ld

This above is sufficient for configure to find the GNU ld, but when make
is run, the build again attempts to use /usr/ccs/bin/ld (but at least
the error occurs right away instead of 5 minutes into the build!)

I finally got 1.4.0 to build by renaming /usr/ccs/bin/ld to
/usr/ccs/bin/ld.old, but IMHO, I shouldn't have to do this. Should I?

Cheers,
Raman
