When you have thousands of object files, shortening the name of each by several bytes when invoking ar can make room for really quite a lot more files before you run up against the command-line length limit. Never understimate the value of a modest shortening of file names - when our ar command-line got to about 230 kibibytes, we had to re-work the way we invoked ar !
