I ran accross this while converting the last of my -current a.out x86 boxes
to ELF... amd, ld.new, and the binutils all failed to build with DESTDIR set
(to /../. in that case).

Having completed the conversion to ELF (well, I'm still planning on doing an
additional make build to make sure everything's been recompiled with the 
right compiler), I just tried to build amd again.

I'm building from sources from a SUP of 10/2.

The results are as follows:
	(1) DESTDIR unset.  amd builds fine
	(2) DESTDIR set to /.  amd fails to link:

Stop.

	Basically, it looks like the symbols from libamu are never picked
	up by the linker.  Has anyone seen similar things happening?  If
	not, I'll try and dig a bit deeper and file a PR; if so, I'd
	appreciate your insights into the hows and whys.
