I don't know why this is a feature, let alone the default, but this
doesn't seem like the time to find out. After all ELF is a pretty widely
used format these days and everybody links their libraries this way.

I actually had to use -Bsymbolic in another project because of conflicts,
but the whole build ended up being very noisy and broke for obscure
reasons.
