Seems that this hacked version of collect2 still has problems.

I began to write small program that uses class Integer from libg++
(no similar class in libstdc++). Program is unfinished of course.

#include <Integer.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <strstream>

int main ( int argc , const char * argv [] )
  {
      for (int ind=1; ind<argc; ind++)
        {
            Integer  arg;
        }
  }

Tried to link. If I by error omit -lgpp hacked version of collect2 falls in  
infinite sleep (no reaction to Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Break, only cure was to kill
DOS session under Win95). If -lgpp is included all works Ok.

collect2.exe from gcc-e11b.zip also works Ok. 

I got failures with this binary hacked collect2 version and (also with similar
one, I got when patched egcs-1.1.1-prerelease: applied diffs between
original egcs-1.1 files and hacked version to egcs-1.1.1-prerelease)
