Linux kernel build calls linker with

-plugin /export/build/gnu/gcc-4.6/release/usr/gcc-4.6.1/bin/../libexec/gcc/x86
_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.6.1/liblto_plugin.so

.6/release/usr/gcc-4.6.1/bin/../libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.6.1/lto-w
rapper -plugin-opt=-fresolution=/tmp/ccZ8Rces.res -flto=jobserver

But elf_link_add_archive_symbols has

          /* Doublecheck that we have not included this object
             already--it should be impossible, but there may be
             something wrong with the archive.  */
          if (element->archive_pass != 0) 
            {     
              bfd_set_error (bfd_error_bad_value);
              goto error_return;
            }     

which leads to rescan LTO failure on lib/lib.a.
