My guess is a -make issue.  I suspect a newer LLD is more aggressive 
about rejecting incompatible options than older linkers.

-r is from the subproject makefile.  Subprojects are linked as a .o file 
that is then subsequently linked into the final binary, which requires -r.

I believe -rdynamic is added globally because it's necessary for dladdr 
to give useful outputs on most ELF platforms, which is essential for 
pretty back traces.  We probably need to explicitly remove it from 
LDFLAGS in the subproject things in -make (it's only meaningful when 
producing a fully linked output).
