The point is that, spelled -R or -rpath, it's a switch to the linker,
and the syntax to pass a switch to the linker in GCC is -Wl, or
-Xlinker. Accepting -R in GCC would give people a false sense of
portability.
People might get a false sense of portability either way. If GCC
passes through -R, they might also convince their linker maintainer to
implement -R.
If we adopt -R as a standard GCC feature, we could implement it in
different ways on different systems, so that it gets the same result
on all. Users would probably consider that a step forward.
