 - When compiling object files that will form part of either a unified FASL or
   of a library (static or dynamically linked), there used to be name
   collisions between the initialization functions of different modules. Now
   ECL uses a cleverer hashing algorithm to name these functions, storing the
   key in a string in the object file, which is later searched before linking
   the file.  Currently the hash key only depends on the pathname of the source
   file and the universal time at which is compiled, hence there may still be
   collisions between files compiled on different machines. In short: you should
   only worry if you regularly use the function C::BUILD.
