I propose removing -lmld from all the s&m files.  If everything works
fine, we're done.  If things break, it will most likely be a link
error.  Hpopefully the error message will tell us what symbol in
-lmld to check for when autodetecting it, and might provide a clue as
to what -lmld could possibly be good for.
