>Description:

	our ld got a nifty -R flag some time ago.  unfortunately, the
	only way to use it from cc is with -Xlinker -R/foo/bar.  this
	is annoying an confusing.

>How-To-Repeat:

	1) try to use the -R flag to put a search path for shared libs
	into a binary.

	2) notice that cc rejects -R.

	3) grovel cc man page and learn to use -Xlinker -R/foo/bar
	instead.

>Fix:

	make cc understand that -R is for ld, and that it should pass
	it on.
