Comment (by igloo):

 Why is the Cabal user expected to know that Cabal isn't going to use ld
 when doing a link test?

 Why is Cabal not using ld for link tests?

 I think the fact that there is a special flag for this case is a red
 herring; we might have needed to pass another flag, e.g. `--no-
 trampoline`, for some reason.
