On several systems (DEC/SGI/MIPS MIPS and DEC Alpha, at least), one can
compile modules to ucode, an intermediate form, and then let the ucode
linker and optimizer have at the whole program, in effect. One simply
replaces object files, libraries, and linkers with their corresponding
ucode equivalents, and puts a global optimizer in the ucode linker. As a
user, I'm very happy with it.
