    ld: move symlink-ing of ldscripts a little earlier
    
    Following up commit a29a6230b820 "PR 33629 ldscripts symlink in .libs/
    created too late", move the symlink-ing ahead of the linking of the final
    binary, to eliminate the slim chance of the build being interrupted (or
    failing) at that (so far) final step. If that happened, a subsequent make
    invocation with no other changes made would then not re-attempt this step.
    
    Necessarily with this the test for the existence of the binary needs to be
    removed. Perhaps that shouldn't have been there anyway, the more that the
    check was lacking $(EXEEXT).
