 Sort of. I mean, it's an invalid argument for ld, but it seems like
 either it should (a) pass it through unchanged in case it's something
 we didn't know about, (b) reject it directly or drop it because it's
 something we don't know about that contains a path, or (c) convert it
 from the form (notionally) cc understands to the form ld understands.
 
 Apparently the old wrappers did (c), and I agree that's questionable,
 but it seems like now what we get is _part_ of (c) and that seems
 wrong.
