I think this makes the most sense.  I assume that enabled-but-not-linked 
targets are built into shared objects?

My one concern about this change is that it makes it more likely for 
people to break the build on hosts not equal to their own.  However, as 
long as the nightly testers due the full build, I dpm
t think this is a big problem.
