It's been a longstanding pet peeve of mine that collect2 combines
linker output to both stdout and stderr and sends it to stderr.

I'll add this for others to ponder, if they wish, I'm sure Ian knew about it:

Oh, the only potential downside, would be if a broken linker mixed messages between both stdout and stderr, and required for readability that they be fully intermixed. Before, it would be, after the patch, the come out in two groups, stdout first, then stderr. Personally, I'd consider that a bug in ld, and just wouldn't worry about it.
