This is a very specific case where a short option with argument and a
long option overlap. Additionally, a lot of non-GNU linker supports the
-e switch with argument semantics, but don't magically translate it to
--export-dynamic. The only question for me is whether some of the GCC
platforms specs are bad enough to use it as mapping for -rdynamic.
IMO it should otherwise at the very least be a warning.
