That's ok, thanks for trying to help. I'll just have to go down the route
of preparing import libraries ahead-of-time. (Actually I'm already doing this
as we speak, and it is /possibly/ showing up some binutils bugs, but that's
another story....)
On the bright side, this means that if they're going to be interdependent
sublibraries anyway, I can parcel them out more evenly, and get a greater
reduction in the number of symbols each one individually exports.
