> The physically linked-together combined library has been an increasing
> source of problems, as was predicted when library and symbol versioning
> was introduced. Replace the complex and fragile construction with a
> simple linker script which achieves the same without all the problems,
> remove the related kludges from eg mlx drivers.
> 
> Since creating the linker script is practically zero cost, remove the
> config option and just create it always.
> 
> Based on a patch by Sergio Gonzales Monroy, linker script approach
> initially suggested by Neil Horman.
