ld leaves a lot of local symbol information (things as "bt_open.so.LC1")
in the shared libraries that I think isn't needed anymore after the
shared library is built.  Since the PIC object files are already processed
with "-x" after compiling, how about also adding a "-x" to the shared
library build rule in bsd.lib.mk?  I.e.:

*** bsd.lib.mk-	Thu Feb 10 12:12:21 1994
--- bsd.lib.mk	Sat Mar  5 01:21:44 1994
