I would like to comment that I appreciate the lack of this feature,
I once had a typo in a makefile variable which was reported to me by a user of
either an old gnu-ld or a proprietary linker which didn't support this feature,
i am not sure, but it bothered me at the time that I was unable to find a way to
disable this feature of gnu-ld so I could test it myself, if you do end up
adding it please consider an option to disable it.

Maybe the error reporting could be expanded, to do this lookup when the linker
finds unresolved symbols, then report the indirect shared libraries providing
the symbols?

looking at failures at 
http://people.debian.org/~lucas/logs/2009/07/13-binutils-gold/list_failures.txt

it looks like this is likely to be the cause of a large percentage of the 
failures.
