That's the point of Zack's proposal on the beginners' projects list that
collect2 should be able to identify the runtime support libraries required
by a program. Users of multi-language programs at present need to know
the names of all the libraries the various languages need in a particular
GCC version, but they shouldn't need to know such internal details; they
should be hidden behind the single "gcc" driver.
