Little or none that I can tell. Hell, I can't even measure
the difference in cpu for --relax or not. Which, btw, is
necessary for correctness on ia64, and I'm not sure what to
do about that, since it's an optimization everywhere else.

Doesn't bother me -- I don't care to do it either. I'd sooner
write a new ELF-only linker from scratch than fix up the other
