Good.  Then let's not do anything about this issue right now.
We can still worry when we have a case.

I could think of one, e.g. if we decide to add ABI flags like -m64, -64
there: but then already you have to make distinctions between compiler
and linker, so the proposed scheme would break rather hard.
