So are you claiming that linking with an archive is much more
efficient than linking with the separate object files that constitute
the archive? Do you have any data to back this claim?
It's certainly possible, but no I have no data which is why
I'm not working on trying to fix this as it isn't my area of
expertiece.
The only think I am stating is that there _IS_ a problem and
it ought to be fixed somehow.
