Isn't that a big hammer? Now we don't strip anything, including the optimized 
shared lib which deserves IMHO to be stripped. And note that we have the 
same problem (a link-time option for programs gets passed to every shared 
lib) with the "-pg" that Elias added very recently.

Can't we split LDFLAGS into a base LDFLAGS (suited to every shared linking) 
and a PROGRAM_LDFLAGS suited only to programs? Then each shared lib would be 
responsible for appending its own specialized option (-pg, -s, -g).
