Comment (by jwhite):

 Yes, I suppose I should have said "fixes it for me".

 For more context, I'm building on SmartOS on a `base64 14.3.0` image
 (which is a bit old), and it has no toolchain installed by default, just
 the system linker in `/usr/bin/ld`.

 The toolchain I am using is gcc 4.7, installed from the pkgsrc package
 `gcc47-4.7.3nb6`.  The compiler is installed as `/opt/local/bin/gcc` and
 the linker as `/opt/local/bin/gld`.  I guess that's why `./configure` is
 picking up `/usr/bin/ld`.  The bootstrap GHC is 7.10.3, itself
 bootstrapped from GHC 7.6.3 from pkgsrc package `ghc-7.6.3nb4`, both using
 `/usr/bin/ld`.

 Also, even though binutils is installed (pkgsrc `binutils-2.24nb3`), gcc
 is using `/usr/bin/ld`, not `/opt/local/bin/gld`:

 So I don't think I'm in a position to test that right now (rebuilding all
 those toolchains on top of GNU binutils would take a very long time, I'm
 running this on a very slow VM).

 Regardless, I'm not sure `-m64` would be right here for GNU ld either.
 `-m` takes an `emulation` argument, and the valid values are given by

 {{{
 $ ld -V
 GNU ld (GNU Binutils)2.24
   Supported emulations:
    elf_x86_64_sol2
    elf_x86_64
    elf_i386_sol2
    elf_i386_ldso
    elf_i386
    elf_l1om
    elf_k1om
 }}}

 Maybe one of the first two is what's needed?  Or perhaps it can just be
 omitted for GNU ld?
