Although I still do not like the way this was solved, I do see that
having only half the solution in is worse than either.  I believe that
the file_list_spec interface is not a good choice, the variable name
does not make its purpose very clear, and it does not easily generalize
to other linkers (e.g. GNU ld).

I have applied this to HEAD, for the first reason stated above.
FWIW, I would not like this in branch-2-0, for the other reasons stated
above.  :-)

BTW: Does our testsuite expose both missing changes?  If not, it would
be nice if you could provide a test.  :)

Regards,
Ralf
