No, the error happens when gcc is linking ld-new.exe, consequently,
ld-new fails to link:

default-manifest.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Removing default-manifest.o from the local directory and rerunning the
gcc command allows it to link again. I am not running the newly built
linker.

There is already a system default /usr/lib/default-manifest.o used by
the installed linker.
