Poof this will be hellish mess to do for all merged libraries :-)

See above :-)

Maybe there would be code in configure.in to actually prevent enabling
of mergelib when binfilter is enabled?
It would be smaller to do such change, what ya think?

I didn't mess myself with 4.7 gcc yet, i am still on rock-solid
gcc-4.6 (not feeling brave). Or secure enough we can say. I want this
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=413425 fixed before I move to
