Not only "they seem", but they ARE unused.
Normally, only gcc and gnatbind are needed during the bootstrap.
Now, gnatmake is also needed because of some support tools, but logically,
these support tools should only be built once before bootstrap starts, in
order to generate automatically files.

So I see no reason to add GNATLINK here really.
