More optimizations.

collect2 is called only to link executatble and it should not take much
time to execute itself.

It can be used to generate sources of DJGPP port of gcc-2.95 from original
sources. So it's NOT NEEDED to use binaries and even to build gcc-2.95
from source archive (gcc295s.zip). But it will be usefull if You will want
to try out development snapshots of gcc (unlikely for most users)
