From an user interface point of view I have no preferences for
-fuse-linker-plugin or -use-linker-plugin. I don't like the idea of
ignoring -fuse-linker-plugin on the compilers (cc1/cc1plus/...).
We should probably filter it on the driver.
From an implementation point of view it is easier to avoid
-use-linker-plugin being passed to the linker than it is
to avoid -fuse-linker-plugin being passed to the compilers.
The reason is that we don't need the option after linking,
so we can just use %< to filter it out. With -f I think we
would have to record it in a variable and use that in
the spec.
BTW, a bootstrap with the original patch attached
finished successfully.
