don't suppress shared libc when linker lacks -Bsymbolic-functions

previous work overhauling the dynamic linker made it so that linking
libc with -Bsymbolic-functions was no longer mandatory, but the
configure logic that forced --disable-shared when ld failed to accept
the option was left in place.

this commit removes the hard-coded -Bsymbolic-functions from the
Makefile and changes the configure test to one that simply adds it to
the auto-detected LDFLAGS on success.
