I have it in my local sources, but I haven't submitted it yet. I'm trying
to figure out a way currently to have both the existing and the new method
coexist in the SPECS, and my conditionals came out wrong last time I
tried. Basically, it's a nested conditional based on whether '--dll' or
'--shared' is specified.

Any idea what I should call the --export-all option when invoked via GCC? 
Leave as is or something else like -mexport-all?? GCC specs will
essentially translate this to --export-all when calling the linker.

Ah, yes. Thanks.
