I added a shit load of debug code to rtld.c, and learned exactly in what
order it resolves symbols.  Once I saw it resolved symbolic objects
first, I added the -Bsymbolic rule.  Limited testing revealed it didn't
have a negative impact.  Note, Linux already used this linker directive,
so that's why it worked for them.

By the way, you owe me a gthumb 2.0.0 diff.
