[PD] building all external on linux

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Libs are easier for devs.  Compiling for individual objects makes using  
Pd much easier on many levels.  You can have shared code when compiling  
as individual files as well, just make a shared lib that each  
individual object file uses.

I suppose we'll all never agree on this one, but I thought I'd throw in  
my two bits.
