Thanks for all the discussion guys. I have rebuilt ae without the -N
linker option. It seems to work as well as it ever did, so I will release
it as soon as I can get to master.
Thanks again for all the pointers,

You remember wrong.
The usual a.out executable file format consists of three parts:
a 1 kB header, one or more 4 kB code pages, and one more 4 kB
data pages. Thus, the minimum size is 9 k

Here's something I just found in chapter 4.1 of the "policy" manual:
The -N flag should not be used. On a.out systems it may have been
useful for some very small binaries, but for ELF it has no good
effect.
I wish it explained why it shouldn't be used so we could understand it
rather t

The man page is for ld. The gcc man page says ld is used to link.
The gcc man page also says that -static is the proper option for creating
static linked executab
The N option is used to statically link a program. What manpage were you
looking at?

Well, my man page says:

1) "debian/rules" uses "dpkg-shlibdeps" as you normally would, but
for "ae" it's not necessary since "ae" is compiled statically.
Unfortunately, "dpkg-shlibdeps" does not handle this case.
The following patch corrects the problem:
