Yup. We definitely need a stronger ld testsuite.
Given a stronger ld testsuite, the kind of testing I mentioned serves as
a second level test. ie, you run the ld testsuite regularly to make sure
nothing is totally busted, then once in a while you run the bigger test.

The complexities involved in this kind of stuff is one of the reasons I'd
like to move towards a single CVS tree, even for the multiple projects since
it makes this kind of stuff a hell of a lot easier.
