If you take a look how LIBS is used in ld/Makefile, you will find:

ld-new$(EXEEXT): $(ld_new_OBJECTS) $(ld_new_DEPENDENCIES)
        @rm -f ld-new$(EXEEXT)
        $(LINK) $(ld_new_LDFLAGS) $(ld_new_OBJECTS) $(ld_new_LDADD) $(LIBS) 

ld/testsuite will bootstrap ld. If LIBS is set, ld/testsuite will
fail to bootstrap ld. It may not work in all cases. But it works for
me. If you can show me a problem, I will see what I can do.
