You mean it _tries_ to use it, because it’s not available in chroot
builds, right?

Perhaps it needs both a native GCC and a cross-GCC (ditto for ‘ld’), no?
(For instance because ghc-pwd is a program to run during the build, so
it needs to be a native program.)
Does it have --with-target-gcc or similar in addition to --with-gcc?
If not, you should find the Makefile that triggers the faulty
/usr/bin/ld invocation above, and see if you could patch it somehow.
Wild guesses & free advice. ;-)
