I've sometimes wondered whether the SUBSYS.o files really offer any
advantage compared to just linking all the individual .o files. They
certainly eat disk space, but perhaps they save some time ... or perhaps
not, especially in a one-off build.

I suppose that we might fall foul of command line length limits on
some platforms :-(. The output of your find command amounts to nearly
11000 characters in HEAD.
