There exist optimising linkers which are intelligent about common
library calls (or which can be configured to be so intelligent), and
which will recognise them and auto-inline the binary code at link
time. This of course requires collusion on the part of the compiler
and library authors, but the facility exists in certain commercial OS
and compiler suites. Its likely to take a while to reach Linux alas,
probably longer than IRIX-ish RQS support.
