I think the linker should support a command line option to do what
OUTPUT_ARCH does in a linker script.  Perhaps the thing to do would be
to redefine the -A/--architecture option, which is only used for the
Intel i960.  -A currently affects library search order, which we would
not want for the new option.    However, I doubt that anybody uses the
i960 any more, and even if they do, they probably don't use the -A
option.
