I would rather like to see a way to *PREVENT* relinking if possible,
and let it happen in ${TMPDIR:-/tmp} if it has to be done.

Writing to the build directory at installation time is bad, really
bad, and for our base system builds (which does contain several
libtool'd stuff, such as libgcj) I am already preventing this by
using systrace(1).

That would improve the overall quality of GNU software, too.
