IIRC

1. You need to tell configure that it's a cross-compiler.  I seem to
   recall there were situations where $target!=$host wasn't enough.
   That should be fixed by now, but cross compiles are hard.
2. Maybe you need to tell it explicitly --host=freebsd?  Check for
   that, anyway.
3. ./configure --usage might be of some help, there's plenty of doc
   with GCC, and there's the cross-compile FAQ (used to be at Cygnus).

Dunno why this is happening.  It shouldn't be using the cross-linker
here.  It should be using the native linker.  Stage 2 is still hosted
on freebsd, no?  Maybe you need to use the --build flag to tell it the
second stage is also on freebsd?  But that would be stupid (ie, a
bug), it should assume $build=$host=config.guess().
