Theory 1:  Many other platforms use the compiler driver ([g]cc) to link
shared libraries.  That makes all the right things happen.  Most likely
this should happen on a lot more platforms that currently use ld directly.

Theory 2:  Not many people have tried to build the ODBC driver on
non-mainstream platforms.
