[committed] fix malformed error message


This is something I noticed by accident while working with an embedded
toolchain.  Accidentally specify two linker scripts, and you get an
malformed error message that can be hard to read.

aretha$ cat tmp.ld
STARTUP(crt1.o)
aretha$ ./ld-new tmp.o -Ttmp.ld -Ttmp.ld
./ld-newmultiple STARTUP files

With this patch, I now get the much better

aretha$ ./ld-new tmp.o -Ttmp.ld -Ttmp.ld
./ld-new: multiple STARTUP files

I grepped the linker sources, but did not see any other instances of
this problem.

This was tested with an native x86_64-linux build and make check.  There
were no regressions.

I have checked in the patch.
