Sorry, I missed that.  We invoke scripts from make which split functions 
where we want different compile options, then (if using gnu ld) 
recombine the .o files by ld -o bigfile.o -r split*.o (an old HPUX style 
thing).  Our source files have style which permits reliable automatic 
splitting by function.  Of course, this disables -finline-functions, so 
we have options to not split named files.
