Unfair, Caspar has admitted he's been wrong in messages any number of
times (well, I can remember at least three) but he's right 99% of the
time, and serves as a great resource for the entire net community,
especially us "lurkers"!

For this particular dispute, I still don't understand how Thor et al
can link new and old object files.  This lack of understanding may be
my fault; I may not be putting together their arguments correctly.
Would it be possible to summarize this in a single article?
