I don't belive this patch should go in ASIS. Linker should check 
attribute conflicts between object files and shared libraries. One
example is:

http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2007-06/msg00279.html

That is a shared library may have different wchar_t attribute
than object files, which can lead to run-time failure. The current
scheme won't catch such conflicts.
