That's really awesome, by the way.

Better than having a crash with OPTLINK with no error message nor
indication of what the problem is, where the only reproducible test case
is 2MB worth of object files and which has already cost you four days of
trying fruitlessly to work around it, still without a solution.

And the code works flawlessly under Linux, but all the users have Windows.
