Summary: bogus link warnings

Initial Comment:
When linking in some MSVC-compiled libraries, the linker produces 
literally hundreds of lines of following warnings:

Warning: .drectve `-defaultlib:MSVCRT ' unrecognized
Warning: .drectve `-defaultlib:OLDNAMES ' unrecognized
....
1000 more times.

Ideally, 'ld' should actually interpret these assembler directives at least the OLDNAMES one.
Alternatively it could simply ignore them. Or print a single warning but not
print hundreds of them.
