IIRC, I tried it without and got some test failures; I assume some
symbols make it to the object file with `L` or `l` prefixes and need
to be stripped by the linker. I didn't look too deeply, since this
got me the same memory win (there must not be many temp symbols with
`!AlwaysAddPrefix`).

I like this idea.
