I have applied a tweaked version of your previous rhash fix, now.

I still believe this change in the toolchain wrapper to be missing extra
safeguards, as calling -v to do an actual link step is still valid. With
your patch, the link would thus be done without -z relro, which is not
correct.

But since the rhash build has now been fixed with a patch in rhash, I
don;t think we need to investigate further in our toolchain wrapper for
the time being. If there are more packages impacted, we can revisit
later.

Thanks you! :-)

Yann E. MORIN.
