This commit deletes the injection of -( and -) options to the linker
for the musl targets. This actually causes problems today on nightly if
you execute:

$ echo 'fn main() {}' >> foo.rs
$ rustc --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl -C panic=abort

you get a linker error about "cannot nest groups". This comes about
because rustc injects its own --start-group and --end-group
variables which clash with the outer -( and -) variables. It's not
entirely clear to me why this doesn't affect the musl target by default
(in -C panic=unwind mode).

The compiler's own injection of --start-group and --end-group should
solve the issues mentioned in the comment for injecting -( and -) as
well.

This commit deletes the injection of `-(` and `-)` options to the linker

    $ rustc --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl -C panic=abort

you get a linker error about "cannot nest groups". This comes about
because rustc injects its own `--start-group` and `--end-group`
variables which clash with the outer `-(` and `-)` variables. It's not
