Gaah. Generally we don't, but you're right to ask. The ELF loading keeps 
on accumulating these things, and I'm not sure we have the right process 
for things like this. They're all individually small and insignificant, 
and they are all individually never going away and making the ELF loader 
messier and messier.

I dunno.
