I think I ran into these issues back when I was using FreeBSD 5 or 6,
and I forgot about all of the details. Kostik's email, though, does
sound reassuring. Let's assume that the problem I ran into no longer
exists.

Well, they're both equally simple, right? An empty .a file is only a
couple of bytes in size, likely not larger than a symlink. But I'm
digressing.
