Collect appears to be working incorrectly.

Here is my understanding of how collect is supposed to work, given the command
line
	/path/collect -o t t.o -lg++

/path/real-ld -r -o /path/to/temp/file t.o -lg++

scan output of "nm -p /path/to/temp/file" to find constructors/destructors.

Create an assembly language file (/path/to/asm/file.s).

/path/to/c/compiler -c /path/to/asm/file.s -o /path/to/asm/file.o

/path/real-ld -o t /path/to/temp/file /path/to/asm/file.o

We are now finished linking. Instead, collect appears to do this:

/path/real-ld -o t t.o -lg++

Note the lack of -r, and the wrong output file name. Our linker complains
about symbols not being resolved (constructors), and the link fails. Since
the link failed, nm is never called.

This seems so wrong that either I have done something horribly wrong, or
collect is rather broken.
