Uh, this is getting out of hand -- I just wanted to get someone to review
the patch... But then we both live in a country where the end seems to
justify the means, so I would say I succeeded and my approach was
justified ;-) (No WMD found while searching CVS, though.)
And, by the way -- note my ingenious (and mostly unconscious) choice of
words: I just said that you "checked in" these lines, not "broke" or
"botched up"...

Well, the line we are talking about is collect2.c:1511. This line has time
stamp 1999-11-25, CVS version 1.87, which was your commit. Now, I
acknowledge that if I had checked more carefully, then I'd have seen that
your patch only preserved existing (wrong) behavior, but I haven't found a
way to get the equivalent of cvs annotate of past versions to see who
really introduced this.
At any rate, I take back any non-intended blame, hereby fully rehabilitate
your honor and assume all guilt myself. Let the patch go in! (I think it
qualifies as "obvious".)
Thanks
Wolfgang
