linker: add -Wl,--exclude-libs,ALL to LDFLAGS
The linker is essentially a shared library, and incorporates
it's own copy of libc. Even though it's unnecessary, currently
/system/bin/linker is exporting various libc symbols (only to
apps which explicitly dlopen /system/bin/linker)
Add --exclude-libs,ALL, which tells the static linker to mark
all of the imported libc symbols as hidden. This reduces the
size of /system/bin/linker from 92K to 67K with no obvious
loss in functionality.
$ adb shell ls -l /system/bin/linker
-rwxrwxrwx root root 92260 2013-01-16 16:52 linker
$ adb shell ls -l /system/bin/linker
-rwxrwxrwx root root 67660 2013-01-16 16:49 linker
