Presently, ghc will only link in a .o component of a .a file if symbols from that .o file are actually used in the final executable. This is the motiviation for the split-objs feature; to reduce the size of executables that use quite large .o files.
In my experience, most .o files are not that large. Does that agree with your experience?
If that is the case, then it already is 'smart linking' and I stand corrected. Unless the granularity of the .o files is too large, of course...
It is - you get one .o per module. -- flippa@flippac.org
