bsd.lib.mk: Work around build system raciness

Browse Source 
We are seeing regular build failures due to libc.so being installed again and
another parallel make job tries to read the partially written libc.so at the
same time. When building with -j32 or higher this almost always happens on
the first clean build (subsequent incremental builds always work fine).
Using -S should "fix" the "section header table goes past the end of the
file: e_shoff = 0x..." errors that have started to plague our builds.

We originally thought this only affected CheriBSD, but I just got the same
error while building the latest upstream FreeBSD.

The real fix should be to not install libraries twice, but until then this
workaround is needed.

Original patch by jrtc27@, I only made some minor changes to the comment.
