Hopefully, passing unrecognised compiler arguments through

unmolested will prove to be a good plan for the 2.0 release.  If
it goes awry, we can get back to where we were by reverting this
patch and the 2004-09-05 Albert Chin-A-Young patch, aka
gary@gnu.org--2004/libtool--devo--1.0--patch-169,172:

* config/ltmain.in (func_mode_link): Because we now pass through
compiler arguments we doesn't recognize, the code to pass
through GCC's -m* arguments is not needed.
