Fix erroneous (and circular) implied pattern rule for linkobj/libc.so.
[BZ #15915] As described in the bug, the pattern rule for lib%.so files
in Makerules includes linkobj/libc.so as a dependency.  However, the
explicit rule for linkobj/libc.so is in the top-level Makefile.

Thus, the subdirectory makefiles that include Makerules end up with an
erroneous makefile pattern rule for linkobj/libc.so that includes
itself as a dependency.  The result is make warnings whenever rules
for other .so files are resolved -- and, on occasion, actual makefile
failures when a race condition causes the implicit rule to actually be
used.

This patch moves the explicit rules for linkobj/libc.so into Makerules
to clear up this problem.  It also elaborates a couple of comments
that I'd initially found confusing.
