 No, I forgot to mention, that's not the one:

R=/home/llunak/build/src && S=$R/libo && O=$S/solver/300/unxlngx6.pro && 
W=$O/workdir &&  mkdir -p $W/LinkTarget/Library/ && 
g++ -shared -Wl,-z,noexecstack '-Wl,-rpath,$ORIGIN:
$ORIGIN/../ure-link/lib' '-Wl,-rpath-link,
$O/lib' -Wl,-z,defs  -Wl,-rpath-link,/lib:/usr/lib -Wl,-z,combreloc   -L$S/solenv/unxlngx6/lib -L$O/lib -L$S/solenv/unxlngx6/lib -L/usr/lib64/xulrunner-2.0  -Wl,--hash-style=gnu  -Wl,--dynamic-list-cpp-new -Wl,--dynamic-list-cpp-typeinfo -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions  -Wl,-O1 -Wl,-z,noexecstack

$W/LinkTarget/Library/vbaswobj.uno.so

 Not sure how this long line will end up looking in a mail, but this is for 
vbaswobj.uno.so and the important part 
is "-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions  -Wl,-O1 -Wl,-z,noexecstack". Note that it does 
not include the "-Wl,--version-script" from the next line which seems to be 
the only place where LINKFLAGSOPTIMIZE is used. And I also changed 
LINKFLAGSOPTIMIZE itself for the build and it doesn't have any effect, so I'm 
sure it's not that one.

 -Wl,-O1 is presumably good for final builds (i.e. what is shipped to people), 
but not for developers, as I expect the increased link time is not worth the 
somewhat shorter load time.
