Yes. Usualy we can find some workaround for problems some change 
causes. But I'm afraid this would require also novices to do such 
changes (messing with RHIDE-* macros, etc). If we remeber -lstdcx 
problem in rhide... . I'm afraid this would cause at least the same 
amount of questions as -lstdcxx/-lstdcx problem. Even if we update 
current versions to use -s by default, many poeple will still use 
outdated versions (and mix new ones and outdated ones) and will run 
into a trouble.

I think that the best is to avoid such hack
