This doesn't really matter at all, in fact, it is likely going to make
the situation *worse*.


You're right. And, kre@ pointed out the same thing offline just now.
Can't say I understand why ld(1) behaves this way, though. (I'm pretty
sure I ran ranlib too.) It should've noticed _all_ the functions in
the supplied archive, right?

I think lld(1) does things differently. I'll check this later...

Thanks,
