* Modify the ASM spec used for compiling .s files into .o files so that it will somehow rename the /tmp/foo1.s.edc files to /tmp/gah1.o.edc files where /tmp/gah1.o is the name of the output .o file that comes from the assembler.
* Write a wrapper for ld, that looks for .edc files for each .o file given and merges them before calling the real ld. This would also look for .edc files associated with any libraries being statically linked with and merge those as well.
Hum, on second thought, why not just encode the information you want into the .o file. Just put it into a special section, in whatever format you like, the linker will combine them, no additional files, .a files work, ld -r foo.o bar.o -o new.o works and so on. You can then fish the information back out from the .o files or the executable as you want.
