I think it's only to support the C++ -frepo option.

See this thread:
    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/1998-02/msg00974.html
and in particular
    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/1998-02/msg01020.html
    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/1998-02/msg01045.html

If you don't use the -frepo option, you shouldn't need to use collect2
when using ELF and GNU ld.
