Can you figure out what functions are getting omitted when you make this change? Can you extract a linkage map from a build done this way and compare it to one done the regular way? That big of a difference suggests we have some badly-factored code in our libraries. That is, some library is putting functions into a single source file that shouldn't be combined.
