I ran into a situation where this was certainly useful: In a particular
project that uses lots of templates, the size of the build dir tree
went up to about 220M, whereas using -frepo and library closure, it's
around 130M. That's a big difference; however, given a choice between the
two, I'd take the smart linker approach any day.

Ditto for Win32 (PE-COFF).
