Maybe it's moot for the purpose of the discussion, but there's
precedent for linking in target-specific traits into c++filt,
for example whether an underscore is prepended to assembly
symbols (e.g. when generated by the system compiler).
(BTW, binutils/cxxfilt.c 1.4 says "This file is part of GCC".
Yes, I know the home of c++filt has changed, but that just seems
too wrong.)
