If you reuse certain .o's a lot, you better AR them together. Clustersize.

FPC in heavy smartlink mode compiles every separate symbol to a separate .o, and then ARs them all together.

Trident 9000 iirc.

Note that this is only semi jokedly. I do have the machine (on the attic I hope), but it is not in working order. I kept it so that I have something without copro for FPC copro emulation testing if I really have _TOO_ much time on my hands
