It might produce a lot of "junk" sections and I saw that in some cases it may 
affect the code linking. There is a report from Itaru Kitayama and I found out 
that this oartial linking leads to the incorrectly working application. Seems 
to me, there is a problem with partial linking in LD in some cases.
