Ah, to prevent building with -lsystemd-X while allowing existing
programs to run I guess.

On topic, I think that --gc-section hides those errors as the code do
not reference directly and --gc-sections strip them before it get to
linking. This is the case for python-systemd. No other part of the code
uses id128.so, _daemon.so, _journal.so, login.so or _reader.so.

With --without-python --disable-compat-libs, everything still compiles.
It could likely be fixed for --with-python by adding systemd-shared to
id128_la_LIBADD (etc.)?
