[Bug other/16394] New: collect2 doesn't work well with gnu linker

["hjl at lucon dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

By default, collect2 will try to demangle the error message from
the gnu linker. If a section name resembles a mangled name, the
output from collect2 is very confusing. Instead of getting

[hjl@gnu-psc collect]$ /usr/gcc-3.4/bin/gcc *.s
`foo' referenced in section `.text' of /tmp/ccUdOXzr.o: defined in discarded
section `.data[._ZTIP9CTemplateIhE]' of /tmp/ccUdOXzr.o
/tmp/ccUdOXzr.o(.text+0x0): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `.typeinfo for CTemplate<unsigned char>*'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I got

[hjl@gnu-psc collect]$ gcc *.s
`foo' referenced in section `.text' of /tmp/ccyqMpKW.o: defined in discarded
section `.data[.typeinfo for CTemplate<unsigned char>*]' of /tmp/ccyqMpKW.o
/tmp/ccyqMpKW.o(.text+0x0): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `.typeinfo for CTemplate<unsigned char>*'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
