While reading the GNU ld manpage:
| A number of modifiers (mod) may immediately follow the p keyletter, to
| specify variations on an operation's behavior:
| [...]
| S Do not generate an archive symbol table. This can speed up build-
| ing a large library in several steps. The resulting archive can
| not be used with the linker. In order to build a symbol table, you

| run ranlib on the archive.
Is there any reason we don't use this? Should I hack up a patch for it?
Regards,
Ralf
