System: NetBSD ed209 1.0_BETA NetBSD 1.0_BETA (ED209) #0: Tue Aug 2 21:03:55 MET DST 1994 thomas@ed209:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/ED209 i386

>Description:
	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'm running with all libraries built in this way for several months
	now.
