If you want this to continue to work then add export-dynamic Driver to common.opt, and probably put a comment on LINK_COMMAND_SPEC saying that %{e*} deliberately covers -export-dynamic. (Alternatively, I think using %{export-dynamic} %{e}, together with the common.opt change, will make the passed options explicit, and successfully pass to the linker (in separate argument form) -e options passed to the driver in either joined or separate form - but verify this before making that change.)
