It's been a longstanding pet peeve of mine that collect2 combines
linker output to both stdout and stderr and sends it to stderr. This
is just wrong. It leads to irritations like the fact that gcc
--target-help dumps the assembler help information to stdout and the
linker help information to stderr. It makes it harder to use
-Wl,--verbose.
Anyhow, this patch passes the obvious tests. I'm running a bootstrap
and testsuite run now. OK to commit if those pass?
Yes.
