A change to ld in the binutils 2.4 breaks Linux

With ld from binutils 1.9, under linux

gcc foo.c bar.c

won't link. This feature is used by the Linux shared library to make
sure all the necessary libraries are linked in. But with the new
binutils, under Linux

gcc foo.c bar.c

links ok. That breaks the Linux shared library. Eric, we have to either
change our tools or modify the binutils.
