Yes, you gave that as a testcase for unwanted dynamic symbols. I
suspected there was more than just that going on, so didn't approve
the entirety of your patch. While my initial guess at a ranlib issue
was wrong, on spending time properly analysing the testcase I found
that we had a problem with symbol info we hand off to LTO.
Specifically, we need to tell LTO about symbols in all shared
libraries loaded. That means we can't load extra shared libraries
after LTO recompilation, at least, not those that affect the set of
symbols that LTO cares about, the IR symbols.
Committed.

* elflink.c (elf_link_add_object_symbols): Do set def_regular
and ref_regular for IR symbols. Don't clear dynsym, allowing
IR symbols to load --as-needed shared libraries, but prevent
IR symbols from becoming dynamic.
