You can manually change the value of LD for Solaris in
mozilla/nsprpub/configure:

http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/nsprpub/configure&rev=1.256&mark=4770-4771#4767

But you can see that we use the C compiler $(CC) instead of
the linker $(LD) to build shared libraries (the MKSHLIB command).
So I expect that manually changing the value of LD in
mozilla/nsprpub/configure will have no effect.

gcc is hardcoded to use a certain linker.  You can find that out
with this command:

    gcc -print-prog-name=ld

If it returns just "ld", then you can adjust your PATH environment
variable so that the desired "ld" is used.  If it returns a full pathname
such as /usr/ccs/bin/ld, then your gcc was built to use that particular
ld.
