In short, I tried (I actually compiled make 3.81 before this email) and 
the same problem.  I'm actually unsure who is the culprit of the trouble 
at this point.  Here are tests using latest make (which I believe show 
make is not at fault):

gcc 2.95.3 - binutils 2.18 - Link YES
gcc 4.1.2 - binutils 2.18 - Link NO - ld complains
gcc 4.2.3 - binutils 2.18 - Link NO - g++ complains
gcc 2.95.3 - binutils 2.13 - Link YES
gcc 4.1.2 - binutils 2.13 - Link YES
gcc 4.2.3 - binutils 2.13 - Link NO - g++ complains

That all took a ton of time building natively.  When they 'complain' it is 
the same error as previously reported.  Need to find another piece of 
softwre that has the same issue.

I am updating the tools right now (building a new binutils RPM natively 
with GCC 2.95.3 and cross building a new native GCC 4.2.3 in Cygwin) and 
will try again to see if the same still happens.
