Yeah, it's not our fault, but asking gcc to keep (like older ones did)
putting-in the data that the ordinary tools need, and not explicitly
requiring the ones using the linker plugins sounded fine to me; only
for as long as the real problem is fixed and we can remove this again.

If you think this causes actual problems, please explain.
