Another reply for this old thread.  I wondered, if collect2 is
possibly not needed in normal use on GNU/Linux, could GCC be
configured to call ld directly in those cases to save launching
another binary.

collect2 is needed if you use -frepo or -flto.

Hi Ian.

Not sure how easy this is, but could those options simply be checked to determine if the linker could be called directly? Would save launching collect2 then, to speed up builds a bit!

Best regards, Jon
