[Bug c/17945] New: collect2 outputs help to stderr

[fraggle at gmail dot com]

The "collect2" tool which comes with gcc outputs the help page generated when
the --help option is specified to standard error output rather than standard
output.  This makes it impossible to browse the help with "collect2 --help |
more".  It also contravenes the GNU coding standards:

--help
   This option should output brief documentation for how to invoke
the program, on standard output, then exit successfully.
