More than "likely" I think. I'm using a unified CVS gcc + CVS binutils
source tree, and the patch below causes serious breakage to anything linked
against libstdc++. We get a SEGV when exit() calls some of the dtors in
the library.

After reverting this patch I can once again run hello-world on i686.
WRT a configure-time check... we (lib-3) had to do something similar for
the compiler itself at one point. If the date on which the linkonce bug in
ld was fixed can be pinpointed, perhaps a check for a sufficiently recent
version is enough.
