 Can you actually record in the change description what the difference in 
the relevant link command is, as shown where `V=1' has been used with 
`make' invocation?

 Actually running `diff -bu' on the whole `V=1' build log obtained without 
and with your proposed change applied and ensuring there are no unwanted 
changes elsewhere will be a good measure of the correctness of your patch. 
You may have to prepare to be patient and run with `-j1' to make sure any 
`make' parallelism does not interfere with the order of commands printed.
