I'd say it is essential to fix it. And the linker can not be fixed
to undo NFS mounts, only to optimize unused directories away, as far
as I can see it.
Optimizing away unused directories is essential. Your patch would
impose the directory requirements on all C programs, which presumably
do not use the shared libstdc++ anyhow. It would also impose the
directory requirements even on people who do not have a shared
libstdc++.
The problem is not programs that do require the directories; those
programs are going to hang no matter what you do. The problem is
programs that do not require the directories.
