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.
