In http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-07/msg00733.html I wrote that this 
scheme requires fixing libtool; I never got feedback from the libtool 
maintainers. In http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-09/msg00592.html Jakub 
and Alexandre did "agree that the linker script for targets that need it is 
probably easier".

So it looks like 40134 is fixed at least for all *-linux targets (I accidentally 
dropped the patch for parisc, now testing again). How to proceed with this for 
linux targets?
