The following patch implements this.  The override is necessary to avoid
LDFLAGS passed in from the toplevel to replace the Makefile value.

Bootstraps on i386-pc-solaris2.10 and x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu are now
well beyond stage1.  Ok for mainline if they pass?

Thanks

If we go that route I wonder if we should rely on the toplevel passing
-static-libgcc but instead force -static-libgcc for the plugin
anyway?  (conditional on compiling with GCC, of course)

Thanks,
Richard.

That would mean either duplicating the test from the toplevel or adding
a test for gcc in lto-plugin.  Either is ugly, so I'd like to avoid it
if possible.

It occured to me that some of the complexcity would go away if gcc just
accepted and stripped -Wc (which is currently a libtool-only option),
but even if so we'd have to deal with gcc's that don't have this for a
long time.
