Comment:
The core of this is now done, and we use the .a files on OS X. There is
still some polishing to do (e.g. it currently always uses mmap to allocate
memory for the object files, and maps memory separately for each
individual object file), so we won't do it in time for 7.0, but it's
entirely feasible for 7.2.
