Comment:
I'll take this over since I've had some complaints from friends about it
(and have hit it myself in the past.)
I'll measure any compile time differences, but I imagine checking if the
argument is supported through an extra invocation is negligible compared
to the actual linking time. On windows, process creation can be expensive,
but we'll only be using ld here anyway so we can short-cut it.
