You'll need binutils newer than 2012-06-25

I think it might have been my idea originally, implemented by Stephen
Rothwell.

Another possibility is to use thin archives to package up the objects.
Thin archives are like normal archives except they just contain paths
to the objects, not the object contents.  Paths are flattened when
adding one thin archive to another.  I think Stephen may have tried
that idea too.
