Yes, the internal linker is used by default. See options.pas, line 3246:

=== code begin ===

   { Force use of external linker if there is no
     internal linker or the linking is skipped }
   if not(cs_link_extern in init_settings.globalswitches) and
      ((target_info.link=ld_none) or
       (cs_link_nolink in init_settings.globalswitches)) then
     include(init_settings.globalswitches,cs_link_extern);

=== code end ===
