Yes, that's what I meant...

Actually, I don't know why the Makefile.shlib needs anything
platform-specific other than perhaps helping with the naming conventions
for libraries. If the LDFLAGS_SL was in the platform template then
Makefile.shlib wouldn't need anything in that regard, right?

Don't know. That's why they are hacks :)
