Some time ago, we had a ex_libs configuration setting that could be
divided into lflags and ex_libs. These got divided in two settings,
lflags and ex_libs, and the former was interpreted to be general
linking flags.
Unfortunately, that conclusion wasn't entirely accurate. Most of
those linking were meant to end up in a very precise position on the
linking command line, just before the spec of libraries the linking
depends on.
Back to the drawing board, we're diving things further, now having
lflags, which are linking flags that aren't depending on command line
position, plib_lflags, which are linking flags that should show up just
before the spec of libraries to depend on, and finally ex_libs, which
is the spec of extra libraries to depend on.
Also, documentation is changed in Configurations/README. This was
previously forgotten.

Following on from earlier commits to prevent local symbols from being
exported in the shared libraries on Linux, this makes the equivalent changes
for Solaris.

Building for the Cygwin distro requires to be able to build debuginfo
files. This in turn requires to build object files without stripping.
The stripping is performed by the next step after building which creates
the debuginfo files.

On Linux when creating the .so file we were exporting all symbols. We should
only be exporting public symbols. This commit fixes the issue. It is only
applicable to linux currently although the same technique may work for other
platforms (e.g. Solaris should work the same way).
This also adds symbol version information to our exported symbols.

perfectly safe [compiler driver adds it] and in some situation even
perfectly appropriate [mixing -pthread and -lc on FreeBSD can have
lethal effect on apps/openssl]. I'd say we should get rid of more,
but I remove those I can test myself...
Makefile.shared was a bit overcomplicated.
Make the shell variables LDFLAGS and SHAREDFLAGS in Makefile.shared
get the values of $(CFLAGS) or $(LDFLAGS) as appropriate depending on
the value the shell variables LDCMD and SHAREDCMD get. That leaves
much less chance of confusion, since those pairs of shell variables
always are defined together.
"remaining relocations" in assembler modules. The latter seems to
be new behaviour, elder as/ld managed to resolve this relocations
as internal. It's possible to address this problem differently,
but I settle for -Bsymbolic...
