Bug#4550: Build of "ae" fails since it's statically linked



Here's something I just found in chapter 4.1 of the "policy" manual:

   The -N flag should not be used. On a.out systems it may have been
   useful for some very small binaries, but for ELF it has no good
   effect.

I wish it explained why it shouldn't be used so we could understand it 
rather than just accepting it...
