Comment:
isaacdupree's first idea of keeping copies of every top-level definition
in .o files sounds pretty reasonable to me, if bloat is the only concern.
Unused definitions could still, in principle, be dropped from libraries or
executables. If use of `-split-objs` becomes more widespread, or we move
to a `-ffunction-sections`/`--gc-sections` sort of world (either of which
would be nice to reduce executable bloat for other reasons), this might
become more or less automatic.
