I would think, that this is too difficult to detect, in particular among
architectures. (Solaris is not the only operating system around. :-)
My original idea, which I still find good, is that the "myld" script should
be able to parse the linker output for messages like the above and give
hints. IMO that's completely sufficient.

Most probably you are right, and the "myld" script should change its
behaviour to forwarding all output immediately to stdout and only printing a
final diagnostic message, if that seems to make sense.
