No it does not.
To the best of my knowledge, there seems to be a strong opposition
against this, while I do not really see why... I agree with you that
this is also a nice thing to have instead (mostly for Makefile
portability reasons) of having to pass the proper -Wl,XXX option. If I
remember well, among gcc developpers, Alexandre Oliva was the only one
to find adding support for "-R" was a good idea...
Theo.
