   While never having encountered this manifestation, I am plagued by another
   mean nasty bug. When linking large executables, the linker starts to claim 
   that symbols are undefined when in fact they were defined the last time I 
   linked the code! If I swap the order of the objects different objects become
   undefined while previously undefined objects are now okay.

I'd suggest trying the additional flag "-b nodelcsect" on your links.
This often makes those nasty unresolved symbols "go away".  Lets
just say that this flag should be the default, but it is not
currently.   A rule of thumb is that if your link involves duplicate
symbols, then this flag will probably help.
