Ahh, okay. Yes, your original question was not clear that you wanted to
stop there, and capture this collect2 temporary file for constructors.
I do not know the options for collect2 (I presume many of them are the same
as the linker, since collect2 mimics the linker in many respects), and I
cannot find a collect2 man page via Google.
I recommend looking at it's source.
