That's a really huge redesigning. We are currently assuming that we can
read all inputs and keep them and all intermediate data in memory while
linking object files. In order to do that your wish to do, we have to write
extremely large intermediate results (such as a strong take >4GB) to disk
and read it back. We cannot use mmap IO anymore. Sections are no longer
representable as a pointer and the length. I don't think you really mean
that.
