OK, am I just out of date or is there a real reason for linker

I see it this way:
using linker sets means you have to learn and understand the
linkers language
to understand how the system is configured (when trying to track
down a problem)
using a bit of script to generate some tables of C code you just
need to
know C.
This combined with the theroy that there is too much to learn and
the less new stuff
I need to learn to get a job done the better makes the choice easy
(IMHO).

Plus, linker sets are nonportable. I don't see 8l supporting them, so
I don't think we'll be using them... but all the world uses GCC
nowadays, so why bother with portability anymore?
