This is great news, I think Jeff mentioned something so this extent.

OK. I had planned to put my changes into a case statement like this
(and in fact, this is what my newest patch will look like):
case `$CC -V` in
*pgCC\ [1-5]*)
# old-style stuff with --prelink_objects and so on ..
;;
*)
# just like g++ ...
;;
esac
I reckon that should work with both old and new, unless the output style
of "pgCC -V" changes.
Thank you very much for your feedback,
Ralf
