 State-Changed-Why:
     This was never a GCC bug to begin with.  The problem is that GCC passes the -o option directly to the linker.
     The linker was catching -omagic as a synonym for the --omagic long option.  Likewise, -output would cause
     trouble.
     
     The linker has been fixed in CVS binutils so that -omagic and -output are no longer accepted.
     This fixes the problem.
