Libtool does pass through options it doesn't recognize.
Unfortunately, while unrecognized options are always passed to the
compiler in the compile step, options do not reliably get passed in
the link step when the compiler is also used to perform the link.

CVS libtool already passes through any GCC -mfoo options to the
link step when the compiler is invoked to do the linking.
