I wasn't sure whether Simon has write access, so I tested this and
checked it in.  (Actually, looking back over the e-mail, seems like he
probably does... hopefully he won't mind.  8-)

built for i686-linux before after, test results identical.

Manually verified that a simple test executable has zero sizes for
undefined symbols in both the normal and dynamic symbol tables.
