That's an alternative when whole-program analysis is possible. But for most
projects, in most situations, whole-program analysis is not possible, so that
remains a corner-case implementation detail, not the mainstream.
For everyone else who would need the linkers to join multiple TUs' contents
together, what are the limitations?
