Efficient linking

What strategy would you use for keeping a large amount of code up to
date with maximum efficiency?  There's that library shortcut I
mentioned, and of course writing separate executables for separate
tasks instead of one huge monolithic blob.  Should I even be worried
about link level efficiency?  I notice there are a lot of ways to
minimize efficiency of compiling, only recompiling what is necessary.
Perhaps if the linker can't deal with it the program is just too big
to be feasible?
