monolithic-lib-op

[Faré]

Difficulties making monolithic-lib-op portable suggest that it (and
maybe also lib-op) should output an object file as if by ld -r rather
than a static library. Indeed, there is no *portable* way to combine
several .a files into a single one on a BSD system (including MacOS
X). Or should that be the case only on said systems?

In any case, that's ugly, and to make a distinction, we'd have to
extend os.lisp to also distinguish bsd-style unix from gnu-style unix.

It is said that pragmatism trumps ideology in a crisis. What actually happens
in a crisis, certainly in this one, is that the ruling party gets to
rechristen its ideology as pragmatism. — Christopher Caldwell
