the linker script is needed anyway to add libmvec.so,
just the libmvec_nonshared.a part can be dropped on
targets that don't need it.

but it's easier to have an empty libmvec_nonshared.a

(it would be nicer if all symbols were in libm.so
without any linker script and nonshared hack, but
i guess it's too late for that)
