I suspect that Simon is building with SplitObjects enabled. To be
honest, I would really like to remove this feature; SplitSections is
better in nearly every regard. However, we have been stalled since
SplitSections doesn't quite work yet on Windows (or, IIRC, the toolchain
is prohibitively slow when it's used). I believe Tamar was working on
fixing this.

SplitObjects has been off in favor of SplitSections on Windows since Aug.

SplitObjects is not usable on Windows anymore so it was disabled
