Yes, it does (though, I've patched it a little bit, so that cc1/cc1plus/f951
etc. aren't unconditionally linked against -lcloog -lppl -lppl_c -lm -lstdc++ -lgmpxx
libs cloog/ppl depend on, but instead dlopens libcloog.so.0 when the
graphite optimizations are used (-floop-block, -floop-interchange,
-floop-strip-mine, -fgraphite-identity or -fgraphite)).
