This is covered in the g77 manual though I think it currently doesn't
mention the compile-time options provided by (some targets like?) the
Alpha.  I have implementations of the link/runtime technique suggested
there for various targets.  I think it would be useful for something
similar (or better) to be available through a gcc link-time option,
however Craig had an objection to this sort of thing in the g77 driver
that I can't now remember but perhaps he can.
