Hmm... it does have one potentially-unwanted side-effect: you can't override
symbols in the library later using LD_PRELOAD or similar.  We might not care
for some libraries, but maybe we would for others.  (Though one could make the
argument that this is bad practice and should be discouraged, it can be useful
for debugging in some cases.)

Another option might be to have some opt 'levels' that the macro can take,
similar to how XDT_FEATURE_DEBUG works... but that feels like overdoing it a
bit.

Regardless of this, maybe we should disable linker opts when the debug level is
'full', maybe even 'yes' also.

Need to think about this a bit.
