Um, that's definitely not in the code in the system you quote below.

Yes, but the problem is AFAICS in what your linker does, as my C books say
it should merge all the occurrences.  All our platforms on which we are
able to test do so.  I did think about this and look it up.

Given that you use a very unusual system yet expect code to work on it
unchanged, it would be helpful to us if you compiled the pre-release
versions from time to time and sent in suggestions before release.
`R is a collaborative project ...'.
