Apparently, a similar failure occurs with Ada (make gnatlib_and_tools)
on the GCC 3.4 branch. In my opinion a patch that:
   1) requires updating the system linker, and
   2) has such a high potential for bootstrap/build problems
should not go on a stable branch like the gcc-3_4-branch. If we have
so many problems building our own tools, likely people will run in
related issues on their own projects to. This is not a safe patch!
As far as I understand the new ABI, there should still be backward
compatibility, so there would be no pressing need for gcc-3_4 to
implement this new ABI.

Because of the above concerns I'd like to request that this patch
be reverted on the 3.4 branch.
