6.10 Project 27: Integrate shared library handling into gcc/ld

Date
The completion date is unknown.
Description
From an email on gg-gcc: One problem with the current approach with respect to shared libraries is that every program that links with shared libraries has to be linked in a non-standard way. This should be integrated into gcc or ld. I'm not sure which is the best. Fred suggested that perhaps the 'collect' tool could be used for this purpose. [..] All this should happen transparently. As programmer I don't want to know which libraries are static and which libraries are shared. However, there should be an option to disable this automatic detection. I don't want this to happen when I link a shared library, for example.
