The implementation changes in the Darwin toolchain look fine to me, although 
with respect to the command line option I think Petr Hosek's message on cfe-dev 
is interesting:

Looking at https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Link-Options.html (quoted here 
for convenience)

> -nostartfiles
>  Do not use the standard system startup files when linking. The standard 
> system libraries are used normally, unless -nostdlib, -nolibc, or 
> -nodefaultlibs is used.
> -nolibc
>  Do not use the C library or system libraries tightly coupled with it when 
> linking. Still link with the startup files, libgcc or toolchain provided 
> language support libraries such as libgnat, libgfortran or libstdc++ unless 
> options preventing their inclusion are used as well. This typically removes 
> -lc from the link command line, as well as system libraries that normally go 
> with it and become meaningless when absence of a C library is assumed, for 
> example -lpthread or -lm in some configurations. This is intended for 
> bare-board targets when there is indeed no C library available.

It does seem like these options accomplish what -flink_builtins_rt do with the 
added advantage of being more portable with gcc. If they don't work for you it 
will be worth double checking with Petr.
