I just found a problem on amd64-linux, where gnustep-gui wouldn't
compile as during linking the linker would complain about an
incompatible libbfd.a found in /usr/lib64/.  Recompiling my GCC with the
above mentioned patch fixed this issue, so I'm confident that the patch
fixes some more "vague" problems we've seen in the past on Linux (e.g.
SuSE).
