I noticed that the last release of the Unix development software
 from Interactive included object libraries with many strings
imbedded in each object module indicating which header was
included during compilation. 

This useless information adds a huge amount of size to
executables. It would be wonderful if the linker could exclude
this information, but it can't.  Is it too much to ask of
Interactive to just leave all that static data out?
