I believe that the gcc -shared flag is needed when compiling the 
individual .o files so that they'll be linkable with one another to form 
the final kernel binary.

I don't foresee any problems with this. Using g++ -Wl instead of ld 
might pick up the $CXXFLAGS environment variable, but that hopefully 
shouldn't affect any of the linking.
