You could run "g++ -v" to see what g++ is doing to get the job done:

    g++ --help
    Usage: g++ [options] file...
    Options:
--<snip-snip>--
    -v                       Display the programs invoked by the compiler.

But the main question would be: why would you want to run ld directly?

I'd rather do

  g++ -o prog prog.cxx

than some (probably version depended) magic...
