Perhaps I should have fleshed out the "how" more. I focused mostly on
the "why".

I'm suggesting that:

1) PR misc/8071 be examined.
2) People acknowledge that this isn't heresy.
3) The diffs are applied to CURRENT.
4) A "HEADS UP!" message is posted to this mailing list.
5) A note about OBJLINK breaking the legacy build is added to the ERRATA
   for 3.1-RELEASE.
6) The diffs are backported before the next STABLE release.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
