This is the failure I'm referring to ("cannot load any more object ..."):

Sure, *I* don't do that. The problem is, some GCC users do that, and we
should either fix the documentation, or fix the implementation to match the
documentation and give them a smoother rope. I'd do the latter, but I don't
see if there were any reasons for the current implementation to be the way it
is, and hence I'm asking on the mailing list.
Thanks.
