The "collect2" tool which comes with gcc outputs the help page generated when
the --help option is specified to standard error output rather than standard
output. This makes it impossible to browse the help with "collect2 --help |
more". It also contravenes the GNU coding standards:
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Command_002dLine-Interfaces
--help
This option should output brief documentation for how to invoke
the program, on standard output, then exit successfully.

Collect2 just passes --help to ld so it is an binutils bug.
