I fixed both. I can add a nm in the same way if people want.
I personally didn't need it because i have an own utility to dump the
lto symbol tables that I typically use.
Current version appended.

Subject: [PATCH] Add gcc-ar, gcc-ranlib, gcc-ld wrappers v3
[Updated version, see changelog below. I decided to drop
gcc-ld for now because that one seemed to be problematic
and is only needed for some specific project. I guess I can
keep it separate.]
Earlier review resulted in a request for having gcc-... wrappers
to handle the LTO symbol tables for ranlib/ar. This is needed for slim
lto files, because these tools cannot read the symbol table
otherwise. Essentially they just call binutils with
the LTO plugin specified.
Other compilers with LTO support tend to have similar tools.
This patch implements those wrappers.
The wrappers are also needed for a LTO slim of gcc. Right now
they have to be manually specified for that.
The wrappers require uptodate binutils (the upcoming release)
with plugin support enabled. There is currently no autoconf
support to detect that. The wrappers query the gcc driver
in an attempt to handle cross compilation and so naming everywhere
v2: drop gcc-ld for now. support relocated installation trees.
v3: fix typo, support xgcc
