This may be needed to support plugins on Windows hosts (and plugins do 
definitely need a common GCC-provided build infrastructure so that plugins 
people write will naturally build for other OSes as soon as support for 
them is added to that infrastructure), but we should not need to slow down 
GCC on Linux hosts by putting most of it in a shared library.
