single files.

I noticed Binutils hides the ld-new program in 'ld/.libs/ld-new' if the
--enable-shared option is used, and 'ld/ld-new' is a script. This isn't a
concern with LFS because the --enable-shared option does not get used
until chapter 6, however I believe it is more educational to use:
{{{
make -C ld EXEEXT=-new install-exec-local
}}}
This command will install /tools/bin/ld-new and a hardlink to /tools/i686
-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld-new, and nothing else (no man pages, etc). Not many
users know about the EXEEXT variable, or install-exec-local. I think using
this new command would help shed a glimpse into the control available with
the GNU make system, as well as being a more robust command.
