It's in the current linker which was "released" on 21 Dec 2000; that is,
for more than three months.  We were just waiting for the next gcc
release to put the switch into the specs.  But then -7 had problems, and
there were delays...

It's not really a big deal; I'd just rather that the switch was included
or not based on a *choice* rather than forgetfulness.
