Right, so where did we go wrong? I think it was in assuming that we
could default to --enable-new-dtags. Users were affected. (I'm
assuming HJ's PR ld/15096 came from a real world problem.)
I propose reverting HJ's patch, and Mike's and Roland's 2013-02-21
patches. That will leave us with just Mike's 2013-01-18 change to
disable old dtags when new dtags are selected. If people want new
dtags by default, do so via the gcc driver.
