Oops - I forgot about that. Sorry! However, isn't this really a separate issue? The GCC 4.6 build failure (the original purpose of the report) is fixed in trunk and 0.48.2.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to create a follow-up report to deal with the --export-dynamic issue. As far as I can tell, it should be fine to just drop the -Wl,--export-dynamic option because it has been ignored by GCC up until now without any consequences. It seems that the reason for the flag has been lost somewhere in the depths of time... unless anyone has any suggestions for why the flag is needed, maybe we should just try removing it in trunk and keeping our eyes open for any consequences.
