Comment:
Thanks for the report.
The behaviour when the output file is a symlink is standard behaviour,
e.g. "`gcc link.c -o link`" would do the same.
If there is a directory called `link` then I get
{{{
Linking link ...
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file link: Is a directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
}}}
which looks right to me.
