On further thinking about this, I'd be happy with changing the
existing flag, --enable-new-dtags, to have the behaviour proposed for
--enable-new-dtags-only. As Mike said, the "new" dtags have been
around for a mighty long time, and emitting both old and new tags was
really only for backward compatibility. Is anyone running a system
with a 14 year old glibc? If there is, do they also want the latest
binutils?
