  The --enable/--disable-plugins option is part of binutils/configure and
decides only whether nm and ar have plugin support.  There is no way to disable
ld plugin support (plugins.m4 is not even included by ld/configure.in; the code
you quoted is more of a replacement than an override).

  This is by design - or to be precise, by review; I originally submitted a
patch that did have configure-time control over whether the plugin interface
was supported, but during the code review on the mailing list, I was persuaded
to make it unconditional.  (I can't remember exactly why we decided that, but
it's all there in the archives.)

  Is there else anything apart from GCC PR47274, which I'm looking at?
