No we don't.  archive_cmds _is_ tagged.  In a casual test, it worked
just fine for me to mix gcc and g++ with Solaris 10 f77 and f90.

I must admit that I don't yet know why this doesn't work for Nelson's

As I said before, I know several setups where this kind of thing does
work (as long as your patch is not applied).
