proposed patch

The problem is that when you link an executable with libA, while libA depends
on libB, ld(1) will also check libB for unresolved symbols, but it searches for
libB in paths provided by -rpath-link, -rpath and -L flags first before asking
libA where it thinks it can find libB.  I consider this a bug in ld(1).  It
should check the libA runpath first, but frankly it should not check indirect
dependencies at all.  The attached patch adds -Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined to
LDFLAGS so ld(1) stops complaining.
