It seems that from a quick look at the gcc sources and ChangeLog that
svr4.h has had a provision for passing the "-h" flag to the linker for
at least as far back as the ChangeLog goes.  This perhaps means that
it may not be necessary to to special-case the usage of the "-h" flag
in util/makeshlib.

Then again according to the binutils ChangeLog the -h option to gld
has only been there since August 1995, and the -soname option has only
been there since August 1994...

Comments?
