Gcc is a driver program. It will figure out which program to call to compile/link the file. I believe it uses the file extension (.c, .cpp, ...) to make it's decision. It is possible to pass options to ld, even though you call gcc. You need -Wl,<linker option> to pass commands directly to the linker. You can use the -v option to see which commands the driver issues.
