Note that several linkers do have this kind of capability (to read lists
of objects from a file). This capability is available on both DEC Unix
(Tru64) and IRIX. It seems a useful feature for any linker.
Sure you can put objects in a .a library but that is often not convenient
when you are building big systems. You can still reach command line length
limits even after breaking things down into subsystems.
