I am willing to apply something similar if it is specific to systems
that have been verified to have a problem with reordered compiler
dependencies. I do not want to assume all of linux systems require this
patch, but a more specific subset would be good.
More than a specific linux system, that are dependencies that include GCC libraries that should not be re-ordered/de-duplicated in the case I've seen.
