My understanding is that Linux/Windows people won't be using
NO_R_TO_GCC_LINKER.  What I was afraid of breaking was people who have
their own config.mak (which is included by Makefile) to customize the way
the linkage works, setting NO_R_TO_GCC_LINKER appropriately.  Doesn't your
change to the Makefile in a way not to pay attention to the variable break
them?
