# This function defines a linker script in place of the symlink traditionally
# created for shared libraries.
#
# More specifically, this function goes through the PUBLIC and INTERFACE
# library dependencies of <target> and gathers them into a linker script,
# such that those libraries are linked against when the shared library for
# <target> is linked against.
#
# Arguments:
# <target>: A target representing a shared library. A linker script will be
# created in place of that target's TARGET_LINKER_FILE, which is
# the symlink pointing to the actual shared library (usually
# libFoo.so pointing to libFoo.so.1, which itself points to
# libFoo.so.1.0).
