Fair enough, as far as my particular case is concerned. But something
new in 4.2 is inserting "-Xcompiler" between "-Xlinker" and the
following argument. It may be that this insertion can be triggered in
other ways that don't involve hand-editing, which would make it
definitely a bug. So this is not known to be a bug, but also not
known to not be a bug.

Yes, although a more general enhancement would be to let the user add
arbitrary flags to LDFLAGS_FOR_TARGET.
