But as I stated already, this needs an ld switch to enable/disable ordinal
linking and allow limiting of used libs or path
for example
--enable-ordinal-link[=path1[,path2]]
enable ordinal linking for given path/files or unlimited ordinal linking if no
path is given.
--disable-ordinal-link[=path1[,path2]]
disable ordinal linking for the following path/files
