If building without it entirely, the shared libc will just crash.
If replacing it with -Bsymbolic, it will run, but global variables in
libc that are accessed by the application (e.g. environ, optind, ...)
will actually have separate copies in libc and the application, and
thus the app won't work as expected.
A patch to add -Bsymbolic-functions to old binutils would be very
welcome... In the mean time, you could compile a new ld and pass the
-B option to gcc to give it the path for the new ld.
