A consequence of this patch series is that LIBS becomes unified for 
-softmmu and for -linux-user.  While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, 
linux-user uses a special ld script that has the following (at least for 
x86_64.ld):

SEARCH_DIR("/lib64"); SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib64"); 
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/local/lib64");

I use Fedora which doesn't package vde, so as a consequence, I have 
libvdeplug.so installed in /usr/local/lib.  When not explicitly 
specifying search paths, things link quite happily which leads me to 
believe that this is a valid thing for me to do.

I think you need to make one of the following changes:

1) Build separate LIBS variables for -softmmu and -linux-user to restore 
the behavior from default
2) Figure out how to set the search dirs in the ld script to what ld 
normally defaults to
3) Figure out a way to use an ld script while still using the default 
search path

In the interim, if you rebase your other series I can push those while 
you work out the LIBS issues.
