The notion of using the same object file to link to a static archive and a dso
seems somewhat suspect to me in general.  I say that because I don't see a way
for the linker to know/prove at link time that the options used to compile an
object for target (a) will be the same as those used to compile the same object
for target (b).  In this particular case, you've identified an issue in
compilation changes that triggers off the building of dso's vs static archives,
but I could envision a scenario in which you might try to build targets for BSD
and Linux in parallel, or even for different machines (i.e. build for a least
common denominator x8664 target, and a highly optimized recent x8664 processor
with all the ISA extensions enabled). We don't do that currently now of course,
but we could, and the only way we could do so would be to rebuild all the
objects with the compilation flags for each separately.

That said, if the goal is to just overcome this particular situation, it might
(strong might), be sufficient to simply augment the MAP_STATIC_SYMBOL macro in
the CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB=n case to append the 'used' attribute.
Ostensibly, LTO would be smart enough then to not eliminate the symbol?  Just a
thought.

But I think we need to take care here.  While its fine solve this particular
situation, I think the notion of reusing objects for multiple link targets has
the potential to uncover many issues of this class, which won't be as solveable
without having to just rebuild objects from scratch.
