All this means is that m_debug_{clip,norm,xform}.c were built, but
exported no symbols, by virtue of looking something like this:
#ifdef DEBUG
...
#endif

.a files simply being an amalgamation of object files, this never gets
optimised away.

This is problematic, if you care about core TrueType fonts.

This is because Radeons export two PCI IDs (one for each head), as
required by some versions of Windows.  Since we don't have that
requirement, we don't attempt to do anything useful with the secondary
ID.
