I have applied the following patch for OpenBSD and FreeBSD.  They have
the same -Bsymbolic handling and same use of LD for linking.  I made the
duplicate changes Peter made for BSDI.

Can anyone commend on the use of 'ld -x' to delete all local symbols?
FreeBSD and OpenBSD have it, while BSD/OS does not.  I added it to BSDi,
and it seems to work fine.

Actually, it seems NetBSD already had all these fixes.
