My biggest problem is that objprelink is *only* ia32 (does the PPC stuff
even work?).  Add to that: it doesn't really do anything over here (on my
FreeBSD/ia32b ox), and yes.. if you're looking at objprelink as the catch
all solution, please think again.

Now I'm not sure *why* objprelink isn't working... but the objprelink
binary isn't finding any of the appropiate relocations, and the linkonce
section only appears in a handful of C static libraries I have here.  I'm
not sure what's really causing this.  But as long as it's really machine
dependant, I think it's a bad thing to endorse/rely on.
