Hard links might be a bit more robust, but really is this causing a
bug?  I'm very wary of changing these details of what gcc is doing.  I
don't understand why gcc needs to keep two copies of the binaries, and
I don't understand why it puts a copy in /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/bin/ (a
non-standard location), but my lack of understanding means I don't
want to mess with this.
