Yes, these options were ignored in general; the driver would have
translated -- to -f, but the linker specs don't pass down -f options, and
now -- is only translated to -f if a corresponding -f option actually
exists. If the packages actually want these options to go to the linker,
they should use -Wl, to pass them.

These would have previously been allowed by %{a*} specs because the
long-ago removal of support for the old -a profiling options had some bits
missing that I caught. As those were compiler specs, this just meant that
the options were quietly ignored (any option accepted by a spec is
accepted) rather than being passed to the linker.

This option is meant to be valid - in java/lang.opt and in libgcj.spec.
If it's being rejected perhaps there's something wrong with your
libgcj.spec? It's nothing new that an option needs to be in a spec for
the driver to accept it.
