It we want to use installed linker script we still need to specify it 
explicitly (My note yesterday was wrong).

However there are 2 C++ files which potentially could cause harm, but 
they don't now:
	mkdoc.cc  - It's compiled and linked with gcc, so defaults for gcc
		is being used and as result all should be Ok
	emu387.cc - it also doesn't cause trouble
