use of fork,pipe and kill in collect2 of cross gcc

[M. R. Brown]

I had a similiar situation and someone helped me out on this list :)

Just remove the collect2 assignment in gcc/Makefile after you've
configured:

$(COLLECT2) =

Or something like that, it might be $(USE_COLLECT2) instead.

Does anyone know the purpose of collect2?  If it's removed as a target, it
doesn't break anything, but opting it out of configure.in still adds it to
the makefile...why?
