Thanks, Alexandre, but I still don't understand why I can get 
the same (good) results (i.e. a working executable with the runtime
path to libstdc++.so hardwired) using *either*

	g++ -Wl,-rpath /usr/local/lib hello.cc

*or*

	g++ -Wl,-R /usr/local/lib hello.cc

with the *same* collect2.

If it was /usr/local/bin/ld it should use the first, if it was
/usr/ccs/bin/ld, it should use the second, but why can the same
collect2 use either syntax?
