[Bug c/14316] New: collect2 doesnt build on windows hosts

["droopycom at yahoo dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

collect2.c contains many unixism so that its impossible to build on win32 host.

mingw native compiler doesnt use collect2 but it would be usefull for cross-
compiler hosted on mingw.

There have been a few discussions and some patches to adress the issue. I'm 
just filling this bug to keep track of the issue.

Original Zack Weinberg patch and following discussion including DJ Delorie 
objections to the patch:

Mark Mitchell patch for csl-arm-branch (based on the above):
