My linker is smart enough to only include what the program uses. So then it
does not matter how large the object files are, or the number of function
in it. One exception is assembler code (or any code belonging to another
compiler), which it never strips down. So (for use with this compiler) the
parts that may be generated by assembler code should be in separate files
if they may be used independently of each other.

Note that if one wants to have larger object files, it is easy to make a .c
file that includes the other ones, and compile that file instead.
