shouldn't internal libs still have coherent linkage ?  otherwise you
cause problems even internally for xfs -- any other libs or progs that
link against libxcmd have to list all the libs that libxcmd happen to
use itself.  it also means that you get correct link order which is
otherwise not guaranteed.  e.g. just because you say libxfs needs to
use libblkid doesn't mean the linker must put that after libxcmd in
the link list.
