Also, we don't have to use static libraries.  It really doesn't give us 
anything so it's pretty simple to swizzle the Makefiles if we have to.  
If we really want to use a library, we should make it a dynamic library 
and install that by default.  That way we save on some installation size.

So there's a lot of simple ways to eliminate --whole-archive if we have to.
