Looking at recent GCC documentation it appears that this old hack should not
matter now, so I'm inclined to remove it, as in the proposed patch (attached),
which I tested on Fedora 24 x86-64 but have not installed.
What about other systems: Solaris, *BSD (when they use GNU ld)? Do
they also not need this?
