>Description:
	On the Alpha, after running make in lib/libc, there is no shared
	library in the obj.alpha directory.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to build a shared libc on the alpha.
>Fix:
	I am not sure if this is correct for all platforms, but certainly
	on the alpha, and probably on the pmax, there is no -nostdlib
	flag to ld.   It doesn't make sense for there to be one, since
	ld takes a -n flag and a -o flag (you can see where this is leading,
	can't you?) and in any case doesn't know about any standard libraries.
	-nostdlib is a cc flag.

	Anyway, when -nostdlib is passed to ld, it thinks you mean -n, and
	then -o stdlib, and this overrides the previous -o <shared library>.
	The result is that instead of libc.so.1.12, you get stdlib.

	I believe the following patch is correct, and will apply it if
	asked:
