This seems like a sensible proposal to me, however please ensure that
for the time being, the old-style command line options continue to be
supported.  If you like, you could emit a warning and advise the user
of the new options.  I really dislike seeing users left to work out
why their Makefiles have stopped working when they upgrade binutils.
