Could you provide an example of a package that absolutely needs the linker to be wrapped ? I'd like to do a bit of testing, because I'm still not entirely convinced that we want to wrap the linker. Perhaps we need to do this, but I'd like to spend a bit of time looking at a specific example of a package that makes this necessary. Could you provide such an example ? Thanks a lot!
