  Well, it is an even more bletch-worthy hack than zapping backwards and
forwards in the assembler output overwriting stuff.  Wash your mouth out for
even suggesting such a dirty idea!

  Plus, gcc is very much supposed to interoperate with a target's native
binutils-equivalents.  I quite regularly read posts from people who use it
with Sun's native as/ld on solaris, for example.
