It's rather easy to change to use LD directly:
	changing specs
		*linker
		collect2

	to 
		*linker
		ld
	
Exceptions doesn't need collect2

About templates: I'm not using them much and the problems was 
mostly in applications that uses them seriously. So perhaps somebody
could test it. At least it's default to use collect2 (unless I change this
behaviour)

What kind of bugs?

Only wish: I would like to be able normally build RHIDE with 
gcc-2.95.X without too many patches
