>Description:
	`make -n libc.a'' in src/lib/libc makes <foo>.o.o and then does ld -r
	<foo>.o.o -o <foo>.o
	Which may well produce the desired results, but is, to say
	the least, disconcerting, and may be an unwanted side-effect of
	today's fix to /usr/share/mk/bsd.lib.mk.

	This may also break cross-compilation with other make variants,
	or older versions of Berkeley make, which I think *is* a real concern.

>How-To-Repeat:
	``(cd /usr/src/lib/libc; make -n -k)''
	on a suitably out-of-date libc tree.

>Fix:
	I dunno.  A warning, somewhere in a README file, would be adequate,
	if the above is the intended behaviour.
