Precompiled headers are, of course, a crutch for a broken language.  But
given that...

It looks like gcc is treating the mere presence of -Wl,* as a request to
invoke the linker.  This is a bit silly for precompiling headers, since
they're not objects, the linker couldn't link them if it wanted to.  But
for example:

% gcc -c -o stdio.gch /usr/include/stdio.h 
% gcc -c -o stdio.gch /usr/include/stdio.h -Wl,-z,relro
% gcc -o stdio.gch /usr/include/stdio.h -Wl,-z,relro 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.6.0/../../../../lib64/crt1.o: In
function `_start':
(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

So, ick.  Probably we should do this the other way around: default ld to
-z relro (instead of -z norelro), and remove the -Wl bits from the
global cflags.  Whether this is a gcc bug or not is debateable, I guess.
