test nodelete properly and apply only to modules / libraries
The nodelete configure test that determines whether the linker supports -z
nodelete is wrong; it blindly tests it against an executable (which makes no
sense) instead of a general shared object.
It should not be a surprise then that nodelete is applied blindly to all things
when linking instead of only modules and libraries.
On some platforms this results in either the configure test failing or the
build failing because -z nodelete is not valid for executables.
The attached patch is one suggested way of resolving this.</pre>
