Actually, it's even easier than that.  The C compiler can generate an
internal object format.  A custom post-processor takes these object
files, scans for all long identifiers, shortens them to unique 6-char
names, and produces as its output system-format object files ready for
the standard linker.  No linking need be done by this post processor.
