Look /usr/share/mk/bsd.lib.mk and note the ld commands. These are used
to 'strip' out un-necessary (And some necessary according to Bruce)
symbols out of the resulting .o files.
.cc.so .C.so:
${CXX} ${PICFLAG} -DPIC ${CXXFLAGS} -c ${.IMPSRC} -o ${.TARGET}
@${LD} -x -r ${.TARGET}
@mv a.out ${.TARGET}
So, if you use a .c.o target that is similar and add the 'ld -x -r' to
the resulting .o I suspect your library will also be smaller.
