merged them into a single library, libsystemd.so, which
provides all symbols. The reason for this is cyclic
dependencies, as these libraries tend to use each other's

- again and again, which, however, makes certain things hard to

easy from the separate libraries to the unified one, we
provide the --enable-compat-libs compile-time switch which
will generate stub libraries that are compatible with the
SystemCallArchitectures= setting in system.conf now to turn
off support for non-native system calls system-wide.
