The idea is good, but because this change hasn't been documented
anywhere, people relying on `ld -t' to track archive members involved
into link have been confused as they have no idea how to achieve the old
behaviour.
It would be nice to describe this option in ld.info in more detail and
pay the user's attention to the fact that it should be passed more than
once if archive elements need to be traced.
