Again, I sympathize with this desire, but it doesn't solve my problem
right now.

My understanding is that collect2's only function, for systems with a
modern GNU linker, is handling -frepo mode template instantiation.
Mike had a patch to avoid the use of collect2 entirely when it wasn't
going to do anything - whatever happened to that?

However, even if such a patch is applied, it won't solve my problem;
my clients want to be able to use -frepo with this cross compiler.
