Well, "selective linking" was just wishful thinking, if not blatant
hucksterism. I keep hoping for it, though. . . :)
The named options attempt to
1) optimize generated vtables (jason/rth know more about this than
I--hopefully they will step in and provide specifics)
2) put functions into individual sections.
Sorry about the poor choice of words.
